THE PEOPLE'S MANDATE

3 terms max for House (6 yrs). 2 terms max for Senate (12 yrs). End the career politician class. Both parties have blocked this for decades.

Ban members of Congress and their families from trading individual stocks while in office. Mandatory blind trusts. End insider trading by the people who write the rules.

Hard donation caps on all political contributions. Full PAC transparency. End dark money. Politicians should answer to voters — not to whoever writes the biggest check.

Require Congress to pass a balanced budget every year by constitutional mandate. Emergency exceptions require a 2/3 supermajority. Stop spending money we don't have.

Complete, independent audit of the Fed's operations, assets, and decisions. They control the money supply for 330M Americans with almost zero public transparency.

Require every bill to be publicly posted online for at least 72 hours before any congressional vote. No more "we have to pass it to find out what's in it." Read it first.

Require every spending bill to be voted on individually. No more 4,000-page omnibus packages jammed with hidden pork nobody read. One bill, one subject, one vote.

Require Congress to fund VA healthcare at a minimum of 1.2% of GDP each year. No more veterans waiting 6+ months for mental health care or prosthetics. Non-negotiable baseline.

Every American household — rural or urban — deserves reliable broadband by 2027. Require ISPs receiving federal subsidies to hit actual coverage benchmarks or return the money.

Redirect federal K-12 funding to follow the student, not the system. Parents choose public, charter, private, or homeschool. ESAs funded at $8,000 per child annually.

Every new federal regulation expires in 10 years unless Congress affirmatively renews it. No more rules that outlive their purpose by decades. Agencies must justify every rule's continued existence.

Federal law must respect existing state water compacts. No federal agency can reallocate Colorado River or Great Basin water without state legislative consent and full public environmental review.

Any federal contract over $1 million must be competitively bid and posted publicly for 30 days. Sole-source exceptions require written Secretary-level justification published in the Federal Register.

Hospitals already required to post prices under 2021 law — but 70% still don't comply. $3M/day fines for non-compliance. Real price transparency so patients can shop and compare before procedures.

Parents have the right to review all curriculum, opt children out of any instruction conflicting with family values, and access school mental health records. No federal funding for schools that violate this.

Give the President authority to strike individual spending items from appropriations bills without vetoing the entire package. 44 states already give governors this power. End the all-or-nothing budget hostage game.

Complete independent audit of every dollar in foreign aid — who receives it, what it funds, and what results were achieved. Not one more dollar without a full accounting.

Require every American high school student to pass a basic civics and Constitutional literacy exam before graduation. Same test given to naturalized citizens. If immigrants must pass it, so should our graduates.

End the Supreme Court's Citizens United era by constitutional amendment. No more unlimited anonymous corporate money in elections. Politicians should answer to voters — not to billionaire-funded shadow campaigns.

Possession of small amounts of any drug for personal use should be a civil fine, not a criminal offense. Redirect savings from prosecution and incarceration to addiction treatment. Evidence from Portugal and Oregon shows it works.

No former Senator, Representative, or senior Executive Branch official may register as a federal lobbyist for five years after leaving office. Quadruple the current 2-year ban. The revolving door corrupts democracy.

The Pentagon has NEVER passed a full financial audit in its history. $858B annual budget. Six consecutive audit failures (2018-2023). This is not a partisan issue — it's basic accountability. Freeze DoD budget increases until it passes.

The United States has violated over 500 treaties with Native American tribes. Full treaty enforcement — water rights, hunting rights, and sovereign land guarantees — with compensation for documented violations. No new extraction on sacred lands without tribal consent.
