Require the use of plain English in documents produced by the federal government. Eliminate the overuse of acronyms, bureaucratic boilerplate language, business-speak (especially in government contracting), legalese, and most importantly - poorly written documents.

This proposal does not seek to dumb down the government. Even the most complex ideas and subject matter can be stated in plain English.
