I for one, would love to see this happen.... How much did so&so make last year with bonds, and funds/ special intrests.

Why is there not a mandatory audit of all house/ seante members.. it should be automatic.

(btw, lobbiests, are the fund stuffed piggies, that faciliatate intrests that our reps. are involved in - in which we have no stake...)

Audits for public servants. How crazy it may sound.

People that wish to have political power should have absolutely no privacy.
I'm talking sexual history, medical records, any criminal records, financial assets, business connections, the whole nine yards.

I think it should be a rule that you cannot have governing power if you currently own more than 1 million dollars to your name.

Yeah, we wouldn't want anyone who knows how to become successful in a position of power in the government.

Mabye the rule should be if you haven't made a million dollars (without it being an inheritance or from acting or being insports) you can't be in government.
