28th Amendment


Okay, so here is my solution to the debacle we call congress.

Amendment XXVIII

Reformation of Campaign Finance and Elected Office.

Section 1

Corporations, business, unions and other equivalent organizations are not people. As such, they do not enjoy the rigthts, freedoms and protections enumerated in the Constitution of the United States of America as they are reserved solely for the people.

Section 2

Any person seeking elected office shall only receive financing, either direct or indirect, from a person. Any contribution to a campaign shall not exceed the equivalent of ten thousand dollars per person per election cycle.

Section 3

Any person duly elected to federal, state or municipal office is required to take an oath of office. Said oath much include: "I will properly execute the duties and responsibilities vested in me as ..." and "I do solemnly affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."

Section 4

Violations of Section 2 shall be removed from consideration for office and make the candidate ineligible to hold elected office for a period of ten years from the date of violation.
Violations of Section 3 shall require a minimum prison sentence of 7 years and makes the individual ineligible to hold elected office for the remainder of their life.

Section 5

Hence forth the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November shall be a Federal holiday and recognized as "Election Day".

Disappoint abounds.

Okay so I applied for a position with startup last week.  I had, what I thought to be a VERY good phone interview and got an indication that I would be called in for a face-to-face this week.  I haven't heard anything yet.  I think they may be concerned about my absence from the workforce.  Yet, THAT is the very reason they should call me in for the interview. Think about it.  It is the exact same thing as a woman leaving her career to raise he newborn until they are in school.  That's what, five years?  Yes, a lot changes over the years; especially in human resources (gods know Washington won't rest).  But, do you pass her 12 years of HR experience and 10 years of startup experience by because you are afraid she won't fit the bill?  NO, you call her in and question her. So why don't these guys see that? Disappointment abounds.
