First: I am going to re-institute a 5-year ban on all executive branch officials lobbying the government for 5 years after they leave government service. I am going to ask Congress to pass this ban into law so that it cannot be lifted by executive order.
Second: I am going to ask Congress to institute its own 5-year ban on lobbying by former members of Congress and their staffs.
Third: I am going to expand the definition of lobbyist so we close all the loopholes that former government officials use by labeling themselves consultants and advisors when we all know they are lobbyists.
Fourth: I am going to issue a lifetime ban against senior executive branch officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government.
Fifth: I am going to ask Congress to pass a campaign finance reform that prevents registered foreign lobbyists from raising money in American elections.
Not only will we end our government corruption, but we will end the economic stagnation.
Come on Donald...
How’s a guy supposed to become filthy rich in public service?
It’s a great plan!
Be nice if the foreign lobbying ban could be expanded beyond senior executive offices to include any government employee. ...or something reasonable in-between. At least include political appointees or anyone that requires congressional confirmation.
He needs a five-point plan to win the election first. The media is saying he’s finished, done, kaput once again after many previous times.

If Trump makes “Ethics in Government” a key part of his “Plan for Change” he will win.

Trump needs Newt to draw up a 100 day plan of action.
I can tell you this when I talk to people liberal or conservative the one thing in common that both groups are angry about is politicians using there position to line there pockets. I think even some of the hard core liberals you can get through to when you speak of the problem of corruption.
It’s a good start but I didn’t see term limits in there. I know I know; congress needs to pass it which they are unlikely to because it would mean they would be voting themselves out of a job but it really is something that needs to be done.
Maybe when a convention of states happens and an Amendment can be applied to our Bill of Right and/or Constitution.
And eliminate Super-PACs
Definitely a great start and it reveals that he Is thinking about his to actually deal with the corruption in DC and how he's going to do it.
Foreign powers own the media, not addressed in plan.
This needs to be front page everywhere.
Somebody just put a big chock in that revolving door. What is not to love about that!!
6th Congress cannot exceed the COLA raise of SS and Ret. Military as a pay raise. It they get no COLA raise congress gets no pay raise.

Not ALL of our media, but yes, some of it.
