I like what I am reading - Where the Contract with American Failed, the Freshmen 5o Will Succeed

We are citizen-candidates united on a platform of six simple and realistic reforms for our government:

•Apply the Law Equally: All laws that apply to all citizens also apply to Congress
•Term Limits: Limit terms in Congress to no more than 12 years in the House and Senate, respectively
•Enforce Congressional Ethics: Yearly tax and expense audits, former Congressmen and their staff cannot be lobbyists, allow the ethics committee to do their job
•Read the Bill: Prior to final vote, the entire bill must be read out loud on the floor of the House; if a representative is not present for the entire reading, he cannot vote
•Tax Reform: Repeal our current tax code in favor of one that taxes only once, at one rate, and require a 2/3-majority vote for any new tax
•Balance the Budget: Amend the Constitution to require a balanced budget
