OK... are you listening Congress? Here's what we need to do:
1. Let's stop calling indigenous people "Native Americans" and start calling them "Americans". The rest of us will be called "Immigrant Americans".
2. Let's pass a constitutional amendment that no branch of the government can purposely "shut down the government" just to get their way.
3. Let's establish consequences for elected officials lying to the public -- I think public flogging would be appropriate, followed, perhaps, by tar and feathering.
4. Let's pass a law that once and for all requires congressional districts to be drawn without regard to political advantage to one party or another. We should call this "The Respect for Votes Act".
5. We need public financing of national campaigns or, at very least, full disclosure of contributions... and, also, the repeal of "Citizens United".
6. We need new Voting Rights Legislation to repair what the Supreme Court decimated.
I'm sure y'all can think of quite a few more. Send them through the comments section.
