Here are three promises that will win the 2006 election for Democrats:
- We will not let special interests write the laws...whether those interests are Sierra Club or Exxon. The good of the nation, not of an industry, will be our guide.
- We will fill governmental posititions on basis of talent, skill, and experience and will enlist the support of career civil servants in the process of governing.
- We will restrain the lobbies' influence by removing campaign funds from the equation. We will pass a publicly funded campaign bill and will allow no gifted travel for members of Congress. Instead members will be given a travel allowance.
