The Law We Need But Will Never Get.

I'll get to the point: Politicians passing bills that are not read, understood and explained clearly and thoroughly to the people should be illegal, a federal felony offense  - that is punishable by heavy fines, loss of office and significant time in prison.

Every Congressperson, the President and Vice-President should be required under penalty of law to sign a binding contract with the American people demonstrating, in their own words, that they have read, understand and are proficient and knowledgeable enough on the bill's impacts to vote for it or against it.

The Contract must have a plain-English (politician-speak not allowed) summary and explanation of the real impacts and implications of each section and major subsection of the bill. 

And the office-holder will be held legally accountable for their vote.

These people are screwing us over on a daily basis are getting more power-mad ever day - they have placed themselves above the law and above the people.

Elected and appointed officials are our servants - not our masters. At least that's how it is supposed to be and used to be. We must begin to hold them accountable and responsible for their words and actions.
