The country would be in a better place without all of the leftists - that’s just a fact (I mean what’s the point they are spending hell in eternity anyway)

Should have been dealt with years ago - it’s sad but the only way to return to a Christian country like the founders wanted - our constitution doesn’t work otherwise

1) amendment for balanced budgets with defined debt payoff plan
2) term limits with a lack of pension and healthcare as well a clause to prevent receiving any sort of donations tied to any of their efforts in congress that applies to them, their families, and extends for a generation after their death.

End the lobby game and put mandatory term limits on all offices.



Term limits and lobby reform are a must, and I would also limit top level government bureaucrats to 20 years service in the DC Brothel. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have mandatory tax and financial audits every two years for every member of congress and for high ranking bureaucrats.

Budget is more than was taken in last year... Everyone that voted for the budget is executed.

Follow the Amendments as laid out by the founding fathers.

Just one thing. You can only vote if you are paying into the system.


This…the current system is synonymous to having non-shareholders vote on how publicly traded companies are run….which any sane person would agree is insanity.

I would add teeth to the part of the swearing in ceremony whereby every statement they make as officials become sworn statements carrying the full penalties of law.

Speak 100% truth 100% of the time while in office or be fined and imprisoned.

I get the sentiment but that’s a terrible idea. All you’ll end up with is pork-laden bills that only benefit the party of the current president. Too much concentrated power.

what is the scripture says that?

"And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me." -Matt. 28:18

"that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all." -Eph. 1:20-23

"For [Christ] must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death." -1 Cor. 15:25-26

"Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed." -Rom. 13:1-7


More could be said, but there's a start.
