As soon as they vote on this in the House, President should issue an Executive order, making sure that to comply, every "citizen-lobbyist" contact with members of Congress is recorded and published on the Web. A little-known provision would be for FBI to check every day the freezer sections of Congresspersons' refrigerators.

If there were a republican house member with a set, they'd offer up an amendment to the bill changing the "executive" to any member of the executive, legislative, or judicial branches of government, or any member of their staff! After all, "what's good for the goose is good for the gander!" That would shut it down.

Well, this bill is not going anywhere. But I hope it reminds and scares the heck out of "libertarians", "moderates" and some "conservatives" who still think that voting for Democrats is at any time in any way a good idea, even if to "teach a lesson" to feckless GOP.

Losing your freedoms is never a good idea, you may not get it back for generations, if ever. It's bigger than GOP pork, and those issues can be dealt with internally or in primaries.

GOP pork = $Billions
Dem pork = $Billions * 10
Freedoms = Priceless
