First Steps for a Common Sense Government

On this last Monday of 2011, I want to share a list of what I believe are the first steps we must demand of our national leadership.  I hope you will comment, share, discuss, or otherwise broaden the reach of these ideas.  Please remember this list is not exclusive, just a starting point for a better government based on Common Sense Leadership.

• Term Limits for Congress (6 terms for the House, 2 terms for the Senate)
• Term Limits for Supreme Court (9 revolving 18 year terms; new term every 2 years)
• Common Sense Tax Reform (Income and Corporate)
• Reevaluate the Existence of Every Federal Department or Agency
• Secure the Border of the United States of America
• Reduce Annual Federal Spending
• Balance the Federal Budget
• Reduce and Eliminate the Federal Deficit
• Eliminate All Unnecessary Federal Regulations
• Eliminate Redundancy in the Federal Government
• Call a Constitutional Convention (Eliminate Ambiguity From Constitution)
• Rewrite all Federal Laws, Regulations and Rules in Common Use English

I have started a short list; one that will grow with future posts, and one that I hope you can agree with and help me promote.
