FINALLY, Something Liberals And Conservatives Can Agree On:
As long as legislators make deals behind closed
doors, can pass laws without having read and understood them
or know the ramifications of passing such a law, and can vote
on laws without providing advance notice to the citizens, our
nation will always be in jeopardy and subject to political whims,
pressures and special interests, rather than to the citizens.
No citizen, whether liberal or conservative, wants
a poorly thought out law passed. So, we are converging June
12 on Capitol Hill to demand Congressional Reform. Please sign
our petition
here.
Proper due diligence on bills and transparency
before-the-fact are key to having honest government of, by and
for the people. At all levels of government, our politicians
should know what they are passing into law. If they have nothing
to hide and are truly proud of their work, they should have
no problem showing us their handi-work well in advance of the
final vote.
Both of the major parties need to step up and
start doing a better job and that starts with requiring their
candidates to independently study the problems the bills are
supposed to solve, and seek input from the citizens they are
supposed to be representing.
Documentary:
Fools
on the Hill, our documentary about transparency and accountability
has now been completed. It fairly covers what happens to citizens
and our country when slipshod laws are passed by politicians
who haven't done any kind of a due diligence. As a backdrop
to this documentary and with some levity to keep things light,
it follows the trials and tribulations of a person who attempts
to get an initiative
requiring transparency and accountability on the ballot.
To see our legislators in action, take a look
at this youtubevideo
Fast forward through the first 30 seconds. Comparable
misconduct occurs in every state in the nation, and in Congress.
This is why we need Honor In Office.
Sincerely,
Jerrol LeBaron
Executive Director
