ABSOLUTELY NO PARKING IN STREETS in immediate federal area. ALL persons must use parking garage or park remote and use metro.
more later...
Revoke ALL entitlement programs social & corporate .
Revoke all health insurance, government and private, and go back to single payer as in the patient pays the doctor, period. Sure, because we all know how that's been working out!
Revoke the ability for elected representatives to take federal money back to their states in a form that ties the money to any legislative bill. How should states get their funding? Lottery?
Amend the Constitution to do away with instant birth citizenship. (end anchor babies)Totally racist and prejudice and will NEVER happen. Gheez.
Amend the Constitution to require a balanced federal budget. Budgets are not a matter of the Constitution. And if we don't balance the budget? The government will be breaking the law..and then what? Makes no sense. We can enact policies but not AMEND the consitution.
Ban unions and "community organizations" from receiving federal dollars.
Unions and community organizations have historically fought for the middle class. Unions have been responsible for ensuring good pay and benefits for middle class workers.
Eliminate income tax/death tax for individuals and tax based on consumption.
Good in theory, but would never work on a national level. You'll have the rich states pulling weight for the poor ones like W.VA.
Put a leash on the executive & legislative branches. All legislation must be directly constitutionally based (rather than precident).
ok, the entire federal budget shall not be larger than 2% of the net domestic product of the entire USA and shall only be funded with a national sales tax of 13%. the repealment of the 16th Amendment shall come to pass and 95% of all IRS and f-troop employees shall be fired or released from work.
I agree;a balanced budget amendment as in amny sates that are doing well considering the recession now. That would require cuts in amny programs automatically. that si the only way to cut governamnt spending because people would all have to take it or a rise in taxes to apy for spending;not just look for antoher group to push the taxes on.
Democrats are obviously excited about health care legislation, and Republicans are obviously not happy. When Republicans have control again, what would be highest on your wish list for major reform?
Try to name something other than, "The repeal of health care reform."
Right off the top of my head I would say,
1-control of illegals entering our country and control of the benefits they recieve when they find a way to enter
2-torte reform-this does not apply to health issues only
3-encourage people to want to make it on their own and not depend on the government for handouts (this doesn't mean, no welfare) many will always need governmnet help. It is meant for those who could work, learn a skill, stay in school, etc.
I'd like to see our military back home defending our borders where they belong. Ain't gonna happen with either store-bought political party but it would be a great start.

What is it that makes you think Washington needs to constantly be reforming something? How about if they just
from an independent stand point- Campaign Finance Reform!
Its an outrage how Corporations own our leaders.
Lets not forget unions as well (although right to work and NAFTA have gutted unions power in comparison with Corporate America)
It will never pass unless a lot of noise is made about who votes it down, then those people are voted out. I don't think anyone
I'd love to see it, and I'd never vote for someone who votes against it.
