End the Monopoly of Washington, D.C. – Bring Accountability Back to the People
Washington, D.C. has turned into an unchecked powerhouse, controlled by a single party and disconnected from the American people it’s meant to serve. Let’s flip the script, break the monopoly, and bring true accountability and transparency to our nation’s capital. This isn’t about politics—it’s about putting the people of the United States first.
Revoke the District of Columbia Home Rule Act
The Home Rule Act of 1973 has allowed Washington, D.C. to prioritize local agendas over the needs of the entire nation. By revoking this act:
- National Accountability: The federal government will resume full oversight of D.C., ensuring its actions reflect the interests of all Americans.
- A Capital for All: No more one-party rule—Washington, D.C. will operate as a neutral ground where every American’s voice matters.
Reform Security Clearances for Transparency
It’s time to hold officials and lobbyists accountable for what they’re doing in our nation’s capital:
- Revoke Automatic Clearances: No more free passes for high-level clearances. Every individual seeking access to sensitive areas of governance must reapply and prove their purpose.
- Mandatory Briefings with Presidential Oversight: Before engaging in activities tied to federal governance, individuals must meet with the President’s appointed team to explain:
- Their intentions.
- The potential impact of their actions on the American people.
- How they are serving the nation’s interests, not just private or partisan agendas.
Out-of-the-Box Governance
- Open Forums for Citizens: Require regular public sessions where D.C. officials and lobbyists must explain their policies directly to the people. If you want to make a decision in the capital, you must face the citizens first.
- Rotational Leadership Panels: Introduce temporary bipartisan citizen panels that oversee key decisions, ensuring that policies are grounded in real-life impact, not elite interests.
Why This Is Important
Washington, D.C. was created to serve the entire country, not just a select few. This reform restores balance, transparency, and trust in the heart of our democracy. The capital’s power must belong to the people every policy, every decision, and every clearance must be accountable to them.
It’s time for a capital that listens, acts, and serves America. Let’s take bold action and end the monopoly of Washington, D.C., once and for all.
