      It has aa lot of merit, but I'm old enough to remember the Contract With America that also promised campaign finance reform and term limits.

        It's a great idea. But I agree with Mik it sounds like the kind of things politicians talk about when they aren't yet in power.

          It would be interesting to know just how much of this goes on.

            It does make an interesting counterpoint to the drive to change the filibuster rules so the Dems can do whatever they want.

                Great. Now that needs to cross checked against their committee assignments and legislative activity.
