There are a lot of great ideas being circulated ranging from Term Limits to Flat Tax and all roads in between.
The problem is that it’s quite difficult to imagine these ideas being possible to implement given that insane economy killing legislation continues to barrel through DC with no where near the opposition it deserves, let alone any genuine effort at reform.
Essentially, an idea like Term Limits is the Running Back continually having the ball hiked to him only to be thrown for lost yardage by a very formidable defensive line.
These ideas need a means with which to make it to that first down marker let alone the end zone. The perfect Fullback for this job of busting open a whole right up the gut is none other than “Bring Home The Politicians”
Yes, this is the idea I’ve been championing for some time which makes my endorsement a given, but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong.
“Bring Home” will shut down the smoky back rooms that keep getting in the way of fixing problems with solid reforms once and for all.
It only applies to US and State Congresses with Governors, Treasurers, Supreme Courts, and so on staying in their current location.
“Bring Home” doesn’t require any Amendment to the US Constitution, in fact, I was surprised to learn that our Founders mandated that Congress meet only ONCE per year in the Capitol.
It’s something that can be implemented on the state level first (Yes, I’m talking about you Texas) and work its way up the federal ladder.
So in honor of Billy Mays, here’s the pitch:
PREAMBLE
“We, hereby, demand and will pursue the relocation of all US Representatives and Senators to spend no less than 75% of their time in elected office in our State Capitols to telecommute via secured phone, fax, email, and web conference with their federal counterparts.
On the Local level, State Representatives and Senators will be relocated to spend no less than 75% of their time in elected office in the City Halls or Court Houses of our Districts to likewise telecommute with their state counterparts.
This will essentially “embed” politicians among the people they’re supposed to represent allowing them to always be informed with our communities’ positions on each issue and be within close reach to voice our opposition when necessary.
BENEFITS:
Restores Balance of Power - Citizens are put back in charge of this country.
Nonpartisan - This plan favors no political party since all need to be reigned in.
Anti-Lobbying - Lobbyists spend most of their budget on travel expenses.
Reduce Corruption - Citizens/Local Media resume their role as government watch dog.
Cost Effective - The cost of upgrading state and local facilities for this plan is dwarfed by the savings from stopping out of control government spending.
National Security - Any natural disaster or assault on DC would be far less catastrophic because it would be taking down only one server on a grid of 51.”
