Even though we might disagree on a number of issues, most of us
will agree with these ideas:
Why not promote a "Congressional Reform Act of 2010." It would contain eight provisions,
all of which would probably be strongly endorsed by those who drafted the Constitution
and the Bill of Rights. I know many of you will say, "this is impossible". Let me remind you,
Congress has the lowest approval of any entity in Government, now is the time when Americans
can join together to reform Congress - The entity that "represents" US the citizens of the USA.
