Re: REAL NEWS - ONLY U.S. CONGRESS CAN PASS LAWS THAT CONTROL THEMSELVES. Great work, Ralph. I had forgotten that. I'll pass it on. If memory serves, the GOP pulled that trick once before. They had a list of bills they as they promised and they all didn't pass. Instead of fighting for the one's that didn't pass, they said "We only promised a vote, not to pass the bill. I wonder if that was Mr Newt. Rich Martin

Government and Operational Reforms On the first day of their majority in the House, the Republicans promised to pass eight major reforms: 1. require all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply to Congress; 2. select a major, independent auditing firm to conduct a comprehensive audit of Congress for waste, fraud or abuse; 3. cut the number of House committees, and cut committee staff by one-third; 4. limit the terms of all committee chairs; 5. ban the casting of proxy votes in committee; 6. require committee meetings to be open to the public; 7. require a three-fifths majority vote to pass a tax increase; 8. guarantee an honest accounting of the Federal Budget by implementing zero base-line budgeting. -- To join RichsRants, send email to: [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/richsrants?hl=en
