| | Raise ethical standards for Congress members and staff - Ban campaign gifts, salaries or payments to family members; its just legalized bribery.
- Require all ethics investigations be published for the public to review including "settlement" payments for sexual harassment.
- Eliminate all "secret" votes.
- Ban the ability of Congress members to "erase" comments made on the floor -- if they said it, it needs to be part of the permanent record (no more letting spin-doctors clean-up their mistrakes.)
- Expel Members who are convicted of ethical breaches.
- Require that all findings that indicate criminal actions be released to US Attorney or District Attorney; including solicitation, bribery, theft, and assault.
- Any Member of Congress who violates their oath, is convicted of a crime or is guilty of ethical violations, should be expelled from Congress.
