Members of Congress should be prohibited from accepting PAC contributions from industries with business before the committees upon which the member serves. Committees should operate without undue influence, real or perceived, that arises from the acceptance of campaign contributions from the very interests over which a committee has direct jurisdiction.
For every $1 billion in overspending added to the annual deficit, salaries of Congress and the president should be reduced by $100. If this plan were in place, the last spending bill would have eliminated $100,000 from each elected official's salary. Such accountability will ensure Congress fulfills its fiduciary duty as stewards of our taxpayer dollars, and force greater scrutiny of favors and giveaways for special interests. Our government will return to operation for the people.
Barbara will prevent foreign interference in our elections by securing our election systems, creating auditable paper trails on all voting machines and requiring additional disclosure on online political ads.
