Call for a Constitutional Convention
Convention goals should be (in order of priority)
1) term limits: maximum of 6 Representative or two Senator terms
2) congressional salaries never to rise by a percentage greater than the average rise in US hourly wages in the previous year and said salaries never again to be voted on by congress.
3) congressional pensions and healthcare benefits to equal those at the "average" US employer
4) A spending cap on every race - "no campaign for a candidate in this race may collect and spend more than $_____."
5) Campaigns may not accept funds from outside the boundaries of the constituency.
6) Political (named-candidate) ads may not be aired more than 30-days before an election.
7) "none of the above" must be included on all ballots.
