Ok you have to admit those are some damn good ideas....

Lets tell it like it is!!!

In their first 100 hours of control on Capitol Hill, the chief Democratic goal appeared to be to make good on Ms Pelosi's pledge that this will be "the most honest, ethical, and open Congress in history".

A new raft of ethics proposals - a conscious attempt to do away with the climate of corruption that surrounded their Republican rivals during November's elections - stood out among the six bills that will be tabled over the coming days.

The rules, which go beyond earlier Democratic proposals, forbid outright the use of corporate jets by politicians and impose further restrictions on gifts and travel paid for companies and other outside interests.

The proposal also suggests considering the establishment of an independent panel to monitor the behaviour of Congress, a move previously resisted by both parties.

Many of the proposals, particularly those aimed at gifts and travel expenses, appear aimed at correcting abuses performed by Jack Abramoff, the former Republican lobbyist sentenced to five years and ten months imprisonment for bribery and fraud last year, and Tom DeLay, the former Republican House Majority Leader.

Damn straight Git r done!
