New Year's Resolutions For Congress

Well, another year has come and gone. And with the coming New Year, there is some optimism among most of the people in this country that we may be getting back on the right track after the November elections.


So, to help our new Congress get off on the right foot, I propose some New Year’s Resolutions to help them keep some of the promises they made while campaigning. Here goes:


• Reduce Federal Spending by 20%.


• Do away with the FCC.


• No Earmarks, PERIOD!


• Put a one year moratorium on dividend income.


• Investigate and vet every “czar”.


• Rollback Discretionary Spending.


• Agree to abide by the laws you enact.


• All bills or laws cannot exceed four pages. If the founding Fathers can create a government in that few pages, why can’t y’all run one in the same amount?


• Reduce your staffs by 15%. Many businesses have had to do more with less, it’s about time y’all did too.


• Take a 20% pay cut.


• Defund Obama-care.


• Stiffen penalties for Congressional Misconduct. If we break the law, we go to jail, y’all get censured?


• Do not attempt to pass any bill that would usurp the 10th Amendment under the guise of the Commerce Act. In fact, y’all might even consider repealing the Commerce Act.


• Limit the powers of the IRS.


• Secure all the borders.


• Forget all about Cap and Trade.


• Expose Global Warming for the hoax it is.


• Lift all drilling bans and moratoriums.


• Stop funding for all energy programs. The private sector can do it cheaper and better.


• Rewrite the START Treaty so we don’t give away our right to defend ourselves


Well, I could go on for a while but as we all know the fewer resolutions we make, the better chance we have of following thru on them. I know there isn’t much chance of Congress doing any of these, much less all of them. But, as long as we hold the power of the ballot box over them, we can still hold their feet to the fire.

Happy New Year!
