I think we need some serious lobbying reform to go along with it. Too many congressional staffers are little more than in office lobbyists. Jim McDermott has something like 25 staffers and every last one of them came from the NEA.

We also need to look at former congressmen who become lobbyists. Some 370 former members of congress are currently lobbyists.

I don’t think your posting is going to pass muster either.

USA TODAY can’t be posted here at all.

I tried last night to her op-ed posted.

Make them “Covered Persons” like any assistant to or Broker or Financial Adviser. All their Trades have to run up the ladder and reported on a monthly basis ( maybe sooner, been a while since I have seen the regs) and are watched by the SEC as well as State Security Agencies. Make them fill out a “U4” like all those mentioned above and go through that scrutiny, then all Accounts would be seen by SEC...

This is a great issue for her to pick to champion - it cuts across all party and other boundaries and it is absolutely something all but 535 people in the country will agree is needed (and maybe even a few of them). Plus, it just absolutely pisses me off that this situation could exist in the first place.

Were you in a monestary when she faced dozens of bogus ethics complaints every month after the 2008 election?

They’ve been excluding themselves from laws they pass for many decades.

Go Sarah!

Fixing our corrupt political system might be the most important thing we can do. Without fixing the system, politicians will continue to deceive the people while implementing policies (often in the fine print of huge bills) that serve their special interests.

Newt Gingrich is a great example of this. He is a corrupt politicians who is currently doing a fantastic job of fooling some of the people some of the time.

Notice that none of the candidates who were in the House or Senate — Gingrich, Bachmann and Santorum — talk about the insider trading and why they tolerated it when they were in office.

The insider trading is the tip of the iceberg. The whole system is rotten to the core and we have to clean it up.

Sarah Palin is the only significant political figure who not only talks about it, but who is also sincerely trying to fix our totally corrupt system of politics and government.

Go, Sarah, go!

Simple solution:

Amendment 28: All bills passed by the congress and signed into law by the president will apply equally to the congress, to the president, and to the people.

She had a legal defense fund and a Democrat judge found it unconstitutional. She didn’t have the personal funds to pay the lawyers. I’m surprised I have to tell someone here all this.

You darn well know that wasn’t gonna happen with the Alaska ethics laws at the time. The Democratic loons were using bogus ethics complaints to drive her into bankruptcy. Both dems and pubs had lock her out of the legislature while the news of the ethics complaints were page one and the innocent verdicts were one page 34.

Sarah Palin played a major role in 2010 and she still does today.

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
Gov. Palin wrote in a USA Today op-ed that official Washington's response to the congressional insider trading scandal has thus far been disappointing and "predictable." As Palin notes: "First they denied it, then they dismissed the problem as much ado about nothing. Some said there was no need for new laws or action because the Securities and Exchange Commission could prosecute members of Congress under existing laws against insider trading."
