The Common Sense Statesman’s Pledge
Good afternoon, common sense Americans, this is Jim Morrow with the real www.commonsensecommentary.com. No matter which politician you elect, he will not vote for your wishes unless he signs a pledge to do so. Send this statesman’s pledge to everyone you can think of, and have their politicians sign, unless you want some more of the same politics after the midterm elections.
The healthcare debacle showed the entire world, congressional betrayal must be stopped! Instead of national Congressional and Presidential candidates asking the voters to blindly support them, we need to have them show, that they will support us, common sense Americans, by signing this pledge:
If elected, I promise:
1. to cut taxes and not vote for any new taxes except an income tax substitute.
2. to cut spending by requiring every program to prove a need of it’s existence, and proof of its efficiency and effectiveness yearly, and either cut its budget or cancel the program entirely. (especially foreign aid)
3. to balance the budget except in times of war(and congress must declare any police action, terrorist fighting or border security as war).
4. to scrap our income tax and and look at a fair replacement.
5. to abolish phony accounting!
6. to sign a “Read the bill act.”
7. to sign a “one bill at a time act.”
8. To eliminate all monopolies except national defense, communications, and security. Have a congressional committee have oversight and responsibility, where voters can point their fingers at the congressmen, who let us down on these, and regulate the “too big to fail” companies so they never happen again.
9. to kill “Cap and Trade” and fight any similar legislation.
10. to vote for Amendment 28: Any law congress passes applies to all congressmen as it does to private citizens. No congressman will receive benefits not available to private citizens.
11. that I have, and will use, common sense and Keep It Simple, Stupid fundamentals.
12. to test every new program on a small scale to see if will work efficiently.
13. to have constitutional scholars help decide if any proposed law would be constitutional before its passage.
14. to help any deserving student become a doctor to abolish doctor shortages and give service to more areas at less cost.
15. to remember that nothing that you can’t spell and understand, ever works. I promise to approach everything that is considered by congress in a “common sense, keep it simple, stupid, manner( K.I.S.S.).
I understand that if I am elected and do not honor my pledge, that not only will I will probably lose re-election, every legal remedy will be used to rectify damage done by non-compliance.
Congressional Candidate
