How might the operations of government be made more transparent and accountable?
o Financial Honesty. Audit public officials’ financial position before and annually throughout holding office. Investigate increases in net worth which exceed reasonable savings given the salary provided for their position. Our government servants are there to serve US not them.
o Disqualify any individual who is found to have evaded taxes from holding any federal appointment
o Return power to the states where it can be monitored more closely by people who actually can have an influence on how they are governed – translation: shut down federal programs that do not serve the purpose for which the federal government was created.
o Keep promises. Line by line consideration. I haven’t seen it yet. Time for the public to see bills before signing. Address each campaign promise made by Barrack Obama and allow open discussion/debate non-scripted as to how each is being fulfilled or broken
o Admit that the bill that “contained no earmarks” was actually a body of nothing but earmarks. Adding earmarks to bills must end. No bill should have garbage hidden in it. If a cause is worthy, it should stand on it’s own merit and be voted individually as a stand-alone bill.
o Transparency? Show us the original and authentic birth certificate of the man purporting to be our president, not a certificate of live birth – we know he was born alive, unlike the aborted. Explain how Obama could attend school in Indonesia in the 1960’s. Show us the passport used to travel to Pakistan in 1981. Show all grants, scholarships and other funds used for college to prove no monies intended for foreigners were used. Expose all amounts spent to avoid providing any of this information, as well as the source and the recipients be them law firms, community organizers, justices, or whoever. If Transparency is the goal, start here. We the people are not satisfied of his eligibility to hold the office of president, given all evidence against him.

An essay on the Birth Certificate issue:
Why Can't Obama Give a Simple and Truthful Answer to the Birth Certificate Question?

Watching the campaign for president it is clear that this birth certificate spoof is an underground smear attempt. Looking back through the generations for some constitutional fragment that somehow will discredit the president, Republicans sure are jealous, they have nothing what so ever to offer but the hole they dig themselves, instead of seriously attending to true issues of governance. In the end all this pathetic slander that spilled out on this site today will only alienate the supposed benefactors of this gross attack. This site is available for the world to see. It is the partners of America; it is America’s allies that will see this attack for what it is. A feeble attack against the President, an attack against a President that brought the ability of open governance and respect for all humanity to the world stage like no other leader before. The 21st century needed to leave disgraceful behaviour in problem solving behind and start behaving like the future generations of citizen’s matter. Today the single phrase wrapped in slander and disrespect demonstrates that the right choice was made on Election Day.
