IF I COULD I WOULD! WOULD YOU?
Make the following changes in our government processes.
Immediately, if not sooner!
(No particular order, just some of today's base abbreviated list.)
1.) Stop all healthcare insurance benefits for House and Senate until they
pass positive public healthcare reform legislation.
2.) Mandate term limits of 16 years for Supreme Court (every two years - one
leaves and new one is seated) and 12 years for every member of Congress.
3.) Cease 'Don't ask Don't Tell' policy in Military.
4.) Issue federal law affirming the rights of ALL couples (without regard
of gender) to obtain a marriage license.
5.) Amend the IRS code to be more equitable and 'user friendly'.
6.) Improve regulatory mandates of audit requirements (only general
review of financial records now required) for government entities
(municipalities, counties, cities, etc.). Mandate full audits to
ensure auditing for fraud and other malfeasance of public funds.
7.) Enact legislation for annual reviews on quality of military medical
facilities and assistance programs for military families.
Include Military family members on board of oversight to ensure better
resources for support of military personnel returning from combat zones.
8.) Establish (greatly) reduced postal rates for packages sent to our
military personnel overseas.
9.) Create Truth Commission on Torture with power to subpoena and depose
under oath, with first report due in six months and all findings
in 12 months. (Adequate budget with, of course, oversight of same.
Members should be non-political such as academia, law enforcement,
retired military/medicalpersonnel, etc. All findings made public
within sixty days of issue of all submmitted reports.)
10.) Deliver tax credit to those who donate (no compensation) 40 hours
annually to authorized public service entities (i.e. Shelters,
Food Banks, Habitat for Humanity - too many to list. This would
serve as incentive for new public service program.)
This is a start (have many more). But, go ahead - add on and/or pile on.
