First you need to know the current rules for campaign contributions.
Here’s my proposal.

If you cannot vote in an election legally, then you should not be allowed to contribute campaign dollars.

• Special Interest Groups – nope, unless you live in the election area.
• National Parties – nope.
• Corporations – nope, NEVER
• Illegal Aliens – nope.
• Dead People – nope.
• Registered Citizens residing in the county, city, and/or state for the election? YES!

There needs to be a contribution limit per voter, per election. I don’t know what it is, but if an average voter might contribute $100, then perhaps $50,000 would be a reasonable limit for anyone? We don’t want to infringe on anyone’s right to free speech, but we don’t want anyone buying an election either.

Sound reasonable?

Term Limits are needed. The rules are simple:

1. To run for office, you must be legally able to vote in that election and the prior election for that office.
2. You can only hold 1 office at a time.
3. You can only be elected to the same office twice – no more.
4. You may run for other office during your current office, but only one office at a time.
5. These rules should apply to local, state and national elections

The main goal is to prevent lifetime Senators and House Members. If you know you are only there for 12 years and have to leave, you’ll probably try to get something done and not forget who elected you.

Ok, these are just a few things that I’ve been thinking about over the years. Don’t know if any are good enough to follow thru on, but heck, political speech is protected, right?

Latest update from my Senator Saxby Chamblis …

Dear Mr. Pxxxx :

As we continue to think about immigration reform and securing our borders, I would like to update you on the Senate’s latest actions.

Recently, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez announced a twenty five step plan to increase security at America ’s borders, strengthen interior and worksite enforcement, streamline existing temporary worker programs, crack down on employers who hire illegal workers, and enhance worker verification mechanisms.

Also, the Senate passed H.R. 2638, the fiscal year 2008 Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act. This bill included a unanimously adopted resolution that Senator Isakson and I introduced, that calls on President Bush to send an emergency supplemental spending bill to Congress to fully fund border security and interior enforcement activities.

This bill included an important amendment, which I cosponsored, to authorize and provide $3 billion to secure our southern border. The funding will be used to achieve full operational control over the entire U.S.-Mexico land border, by constructing 300 miles of permanent vehicle barriers and 700 miles of border fencing, deploying four unmanned aerial vehicles, installing 105 ground-based radar and camera towers, and obtaining the facilities and resources necessary to detain up to 45,000 aliens per day on an annual basis. Moreover, it will provide for the hiring, training and deploying of 23,000 Customs and Border Patrol agents.

Immigration reform is the most important domestic issue facing our nation today. The President and Congress must work together to secure the border first. Once this is done, we can work to resolve the collateral issues. I believe we can get there, but we are not there yet.
