My next project: Do we have any true leaders in Congress? The interview and challenges.

This will be a list of questions and challenges for all members of Congress. It will be a gauntlet to learn how our current or potential leaders think and what they valve. We can use it to determine if they deserve our vote. Brave leaders will fill out the questions and take the challenges. For other politicians we will have to study the people and fill in the answers for them. We will research the cars or TVs we buy but are we willing to study the people we put in charge of guarding our rights and liberties? We have to stop voting for empty pages. Don’t give the Democrats or Republicans a blank check with your vote. Use study, reason, and prayer to find the best leaders. We did not win our liberties and freedoms but we can show gratitude for them by using them wisely. Send me your ideas about what questions and challenges you would like to give Congress. Here are some of mine.


Do you believe the Constitution is the best government structure for our nation for the next 200 years? (yes or no) If no what would be better ?

Will you commit to the following personal responsibility pledge? I am responsible for my own support, opportunities, health, safety, and choices…..

Will you donate every dollar of your pay above $46,000/yr (the median house hold income in 2008) to a special account that will be used to build a tax payer monument in Washington? (yes or no) If no, why not?

Will you use Medicare or Medicaid as your only health care while in office? (yes or no) If no, why not.

If you have school children will you keep them in public school? (yes or no) If no, why not?

Will you fill out your own taxes without the help of an accountant while in office (tax software is ok.)? (Yes or no) If no, why not?

Do you think it is fair that wealthy Americans pay a higher percentage of taxes then the average American? (Yes or no) If yes why?

Do you have a law degree? (Yes or no) If no what is your work experience.

Who do you work for?

If your constituents want something different than your party does, who will you support? (Constituents or party)

What do you care more about than re-election?

Is there any type of peaceful debate that is un-American? (yes or no) If yes what type?

Are there any topics that should not be debated?

How long should topics be open for debate?

Are there any principles that you always support over your party?

Will you vote on every bill and study every bill you vote for?

How do you find and solve problems?

Where do the rights of the American people come from?

This is the general idea. I need your help to finish it.
