Bill Whittle of PJTV.com suggested we go use this great site, http://contractfromamerica.com
So, I went! It's sponsored by the same outfit I belong to, Tea Party Patriots.
The idea is this: Write a new Contract, a Contract from America. Here's my first contribution:
The Plain Language Legislative Act
Any and all legislation emanating from either house of Congress shall be written in plain English, so that it is understandable to any average Citizen with an education level of grade 5. There will be no exceptions.
Technical language will be restricted to descriptions of function or form. There will be a panel of 5th graders chosen by random lottery from among the schools of the Nation. They will review and approve or disapprove any and all legislation, and judge it as to understandability and sensibility.
Any legislation that elicits a reaction of "I don't get it" or "That's NUTS!" will be sent for rewriting, or discarded, both at the discretion of said 5th graders.
There will be no re-writing of laws from this form by the Supreme Court, or any lower court. Any person wishing to insert language other than in this simple form will be required to first stick their head in an operational and operating gas oven for a period of no less than 8 hours.
Period.
