None | None | None

Posted on 11/30/2010 7:09:28 AM PST by RavenATB

I've got some thoughts on what I'd like to see the new Republican leadership focus on when they take over the House of Representatives next month. But I'd like to see your ideas, too. So, I thought I'd ask you to list your top five suggested agenda items in the hope that someone with a communications line into the new Congressional leadership might read this...

1. Kill the medical care program for all current and retired elected federal politicians and put them on Obamacare.

2. Slash the funding line for the president's international travel by 90 percent

3. Defund the IRS and establish a flat or "fair" tax system

4. Make it a federal crime to provided taxpayer-funded services of any kind to an illegal alien, and establish a one-year minimum federal prison sentence for violators.

5. Reaffirm the right to private property by strictly limiting the use of eminent domain, eliminating government seizures of private property without due process, slashing the power of the EPA, and making it illegal for unelected officials to create laws that affect the public.

a. do not increase the debt limit.
b. spin off as much of the US Government as possible.
If they can IPO GM then they can IPO the Post Office, AMTRACK,
and many, many other departments to stand or fall on their own.
c. get out of the federal land business. sell, transfer everything except military bases and DC.
d. get out of the education business, this is best left to State and local governments.

have more but this is a start

Stop acting like the gutless Republicans of the past few years.We need fighters,not cowards.

Remember all glory is fleeting.You can be thrown out as fast as you were voted in to office.

1) Cut spending at every place possible, including huge reductions in the number and size of government agencies.

2) Secure the border and prosecute and deport all illegals, jsil those hire them and give them sanctuary.

3 Listen to those who elected you.

4 Do everything within your power to derail Obama’s agenda and plans.

5) Create economic and tax structure of less regulation and lower taxes, some long-term policies that will allow businesses the opportunity to plan beyond the next few months.

AND OF COURSE REPEAL OBAMACARE!

That would be first on my list and would take care of the Usurper POTUS problem.

1) The Republican Congress must realize that this country is at a crossroads. They must fight and eliminate the enemy within or the Grand Experiment is dead.
Expose this Communist coup and all the scumbag commie/progressives aka DEMONCRATS who took an ‘Oath’ to uphold and defend the Constitution.

1. cut federal spending

2. cut federal taxes

3. cut spending some more

4. cut taxes some more

5. cut both spending and taxes again

PS: It should go without saying, although I’ll say it anyway, that the spending cuts should defund Obamacare, along with the EPA, the Department of Education, and the Department of Agriculture. That’s all for starters!

Austerity budget. Cut out all unnecessary spending like grants to teach African men how to wash their junk, don’t print new paper money just to make it look more modern, more European. And cut out this stuff, and anything like it;

1 out with obama care

2 SOLVE the illegal alien problem post haste.
By:
Build the fence.
DEPORT the offenders.
get rid of sanctuary cities and the crooks that run them.
limit the funds leaving the country.

3. Pass a realistic energy policy that places renewable energy utopia at the bottom of the list, along with global warming and every other liberal scare tactic.

Get rid of the EPA

develop our own resources without the input from radical environmentalists.

4 Stick to the Constitution, meaning get out of the peoples business and stick to what the Constitution allows. Meaning all NGO’s and tax supported government agencies not mandated by the Constitution are to be unsupported by tax dollars immediately.

5.Wean yourself from the central bank

6 The House of Representatives needs to start doing its job instead of shoving responsibility onto the executive branch.

7 The Senate needs to stop with the arrogant thought that it is running the country, and get back to preserving States rights.

The list is unending!

The first item on Boehner's agenda was to tell the new Congressmen that if they wouldn't vote to raise the debt limit they were a bunch of big babies.

Notwithstanding the explicit provisions of his "Pledge to America" made during the campaign.
