MID-TERM LEGISLATIVE STRATEGY
When politics triumphs over common sense, chaos reigns.
Accountability and transparency are absolute necessities for government activity, so the American public—not the politicians–must be the party to enforce these principles. If the American voter at any time during the election cycle wants to control how we are being governed, we will need an Accountability Amendment to our Constitution (see 3/19/2017 post)
The American written and TV media must be strictly regulated in an effort to insure that the news they issue is the truth—not propaganda (see 2/1/2018 post). The existing mainstream personnel are no longer broadcasters but are now propaganda ministers.
The” Never Trump” Republican leadership and Democrats in Congress are working diligently to sabotage the current legislative session. One of the ways they are trying to do so is by ignoring the President’s immigration position in favor of one dictated by their open border masters. We need to reform how elections are financed. My book has suggestions on ways to finance our elections. It can be found on the internet at The Way I See It by Ernest Kanak Jr.
The President made a mistake in proposing a DACA fix without completion of the border wall, mandatory E-verify, elimination of chain immigration and the visa lottery and fixing our current immigration laws and staffing to meet the reality of 21st century needs. The warm body labor requirements of the 1930s do not come close to meeting the country’s current needs.
It was good that the House of Representatives voted on the Goodlatte and Speaker Ryan’s Immigration bills. When is the House of Representatives going to have real not fake leadership? Now voters in the mid-term elections can base their vote on how their current representative running for re-election voted. The U.S. Senate makes everyone wonder if they are Americans because they seem to ignore most legislation passed by the House. So a choice there is more difficult. One thing for sure, don’t vote for anyone who has “served” two or more terms no matter what party they represent. Senators are only concerned with self importance and TV face time.
The American public needs to start DEMANDING THAT EACH CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE SIGN A LEGAL ACCOUNTABILITY CONTRACT AGREEING TO BE RECALLED IF HIS OR HER CONSTITUENTS PETITION FOR A RECALL VOTE, AN ELECTION IS HELD, AND IF THE ELECTION RESULTS IN A LOSS, IMMEDIATE TERMINATION. If the United States Constitution had an Accountability Amendment, the responsibility for good government would be securely in the hands of the voters.
