There needs to be a Citizen Oversight Committee that should be filled with WE THE PEOPLE who are picked the same as Jury Duty .
Each state can have 10 representatives ( = 500 total ) who can review cases of corruption / unethical behavior / etc. They can serve for 1 month ?
Their findings need to be sent to a
GRAND JURY to be reviewed… If found guilty … the Congressman / Senator gets fired immediately .!.!,.! If there are no consequences for ones actions, then there is no Rule of Law. I would rather have my peers judge these congressmen/Senators who are out of touch with right and wrong…
They accept bribes, Insider trading , Private Jets , fancy dinners , Pension for life , the best “healthcare plans”, Security protection , Cushy jobs planned for after their term, etc, etc . Meanwhile , We The People pay 40-50% of our hard earn money to fund these government workers who are suckling off the teet …
WITH NO ACCOUNTABILITY … This must end and this is the policy that cuts to the heart of ALL problems.
Brilliant. Who decides when a Citizens Oversigh Committee needs to be formed, or if you like, when a felony or crime sufficient of this has been committed? Perhaps a system similar to this one, Policies 4 the People, where crimes can be openly discussed, evidence presented, and be up-voted for attention.
It would seem necessary to review issues on a monthly basis. If for no other reason than to “Oversee” what these Politicians are up to … Hence , keeping them ACCOUNTABLE . Politicians are servants of the people.
Who is donating to their campaign.?
Which Lobbyists are they meeting with .?
Which bills are they voting for?
Are their Family members benefitting from their “projects” ?
Is their Financial Portfolio in conflict with their “sub-committee” assignment ?
There could be a list of questions that C.O.C. members review in order to standardize the process .
WHO can serve on CITIZEN OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE ??
any voter can be chosen randomly … same as Jury Selection.
? Monthly service to review issues ?
