OUR PURPOSE
Pass the Truth in Public Service Act (TIPS) to insure that trustworthy people occupy positions of authority in public positions. Require that all officials take a polygraph examination before running for or being appointed to a public service position and at specified intervals while in the position.
Motto
All good people can endorse, admire and be proud of TIPS because of what it can do for our country.
Other Thoughts for Discussion
- TIPS will be “our insurance against” “political and other governmental appointee shenanigans.” The polygraph examination will used in the same manner as we use it now for governmental and legal matters.
- Outlaw lobbyist paying politicians and all other people in public service
- Outlaw “Riders” on legislative bills.
- Why are the president and governors allowed to give clemency to prisoners? Do they have to provide any reasonable rational for their actions?
- Why do we allow the politicians that we elect and pay their salaries tell us what they are going to do? The people are their bosses, not vice versa. Mob rule can come into play, but for our purposes only if is to help not to hurt concept.
- Why do we allow the politicians to vote for their own pay raises? That’s tantamount to the employees telling the boss that I am getting a raise and this how much it will be.
- For at least about a15 year span starting in the 80’ or 90’s federal workers (or should I say employees) received a cost of living and/or a pay increase. During that same period the “minimum wage amount” did not increase “one red cent.” Keep in mind that the minimum wage earners were paying taxes that went towards increases for federal workers.
- We allow our Congress to (1) sit around on their “posteriors,” (2) act and argue like little kids on the playground, (3) not take care of the important national business in a timely manner, (4) help their buddies by attaching “riders” to legislation that forgive their buddies from debts, pardons, etc., and (5) be paid a good salary, no matter how poorly they perform.
- Outlaw all groups and organizations whose express purpose is to deny the freedoms granted by our Constitution to others.
- Let’s come up with a strategy to protect our neighborhoods. We can patrol our own areas. Our government seems always ready to protect foreigners, like the Iraqis, and now considering troops to protect Libyans when Americans are being murdered every day. Why don’t we send in the National Guard to patrol “high” crime areas, just like we do in any other emergency?
- Is “foreign aid” welfare?
- As humans we have the ability to make things better for everyone. There is enough of everything for everyone; all we have to do is share it.
