Act 8. Do or Die
Election to Congress has become practically a guaranteed job for life. Something is dreadfully wrong when Congress's approval rating barely tops 10%, yet incumbents win re-election over 90% of the time! It's time that members of Congress showed some accountability.
​
It's time for members of Congress to say "I will achieve results or step down!"
​
Over half of the members of Congress don't even have written goals for what they want to accomplish during their term in office (according to a recent survey of members)! Imagine instead if your Representative or Senator were to publicly announce something like this:
​
"I will step down from office at the end of 6 years if we, the Congress, cannot...
​
Reduce the national debt by 25%...
​
(or)
​
Cut teen pregnancies in half...
​
(or)
​
Pass a $1 trillion infrastructure bill to repair the nation's roads, bridges, railroads and airports...
​
(or)
​
Bring unemployment down to 4%...
​
(or)
​
Whatever concrete goal the member of Congress has the courage to commit to!
