Why CommonSense ForCongress.org

If you are concerned that Congress is forgetting
who they work for... YOU;
Then you need to help spread the word about the CommonSenseForCongress.org grassroots movement.

If you believe Congress should:

1. Read and understand all bills before they vote
2. Publish all bills in a searchable format on a Congressional web site before they vote
3. Do away with earmarks and pork attached to any bill

... then you agree with and should get aligned with CommonSenseForCongress.org.

Our goal is simple and easily attainable:

• Vote for Congressmen that believe they should read all bills from beginning to end before they vote on it and vote out Congressmen who voted for the 2009 Stimulus Bill, since they obviously voted for it without READING the entire bill.
• Anyone running for Congress in 2010 is welcome to take the Common Sense for Congress pledge, as long as they vote in favor of legislation we will ask be written that requires all bills to be posted on a Congressional web site for two weeks before being called for a vote and that each bill cover only one topic, effectively doing away with earmarks and pork.

Democrat, Independent, Libertarian, Republican, or any party's candidate for Congress may run under the CommonSenseForCongress.org banner, if eligible. It is possible in a primary to have two or more candidates from the same party running against each other under the CommonSenseForCongress.org banner for the same seat. In the general election, it will be possible to have more than one candidate, from different parties, in the same district, running under the CommonSenseForCongress.org banner. As long as the candidate pledges to vote Common Sense legislation, she or he is eligible to run under the CommonSenseForCongress.org banner no matter what party they belong to.
