I might assume that you mean members of Congress.
I can support that, but don't expect that members of Congress will.

12 year term limits...

At 12 years, a senator is just getting traction. Up that number to 24
for Senate, and I might agree -- but would still be luke warm on the
concept of term limits.

A ban on political donations from lobbyists or PACs...

YES!

I would expand this somehow to "and spouses of" but I am not sure how that would work. I am convinced that Mr. Nancy Pelosi got all sorts of inside
info regarding what Congress was up to and based his investments
accordingly.

The fight has to start at some point... Gaetz is presenting these ideas... let the public see who's against them...

I am curious as to why luke warm... I have come to believe, over time, that we've drifted away from the founders intentions of serving the people... Washington reluctantly became President and served 2 terms and went back to farming.

Now we have Nancy Peloci, Dianne Feinstein and Mitch McConnell staying in power for a millennium while they enrich themselves.

There are pictures of JFK with Nancy... There some evidence presented recently where Peloci husband was working with Feinstein's husband on land deals where they were using federal grants to later sell to a land developer who them sold that land to help with in the development of the speed rail...

Our political system is rotten to the core... One of the ways to curb this would be to add term limits and setup a comity to investigate congress... Wait.... The FBI love to investigate Americans... let them have a team to investigate these thugs...

A ban on political donations from lobbyists or PACs...

YES!

It all needs to be public!!!

It's easy... I had a securities license From 1992 to 2018'ish... If I ever did anything sketchy I'd be in jail and would have lost my license ... I i walked by a room and overheard people talking and my trades could be linked to that conversation... I'd be in jail....

Well, Nancy Peloci can create laws on semiconductors and her husband goes and buys a bunch of semiconductor stocks just days before the announcement... there would be easy connections between family members trade... I have seen the industry folks go down for less... I say use the industry standards on them... Just move your assets into a blind trust and move on....

Hello Dale,

I was on X and and was looking at some of the changes he
wants to see congress supporting....

Just to name a few....

Congress cannot trade stocks...

I might assume that you mean members of Congress.
I can support that, but don't expect that members of Congress will.

Members of Congress are paid a salary. That should be enough
to make them happy. So why the need for any of them to invest
that money (taxpayer dollars) in stocks and bonds?

12 year term limits...

At 12 years, a senator is just getting traction. Up that number to 24 for Senate, and I might agree -- but would still be luke warm on the concept of
term limits.

Term limits are antidemocratic, as they limit the choices people
can make in choosing who they want to elect for office. So why have
term limits, for any office? Members of the House have no term limits.
Members of the Senate have no term limits. And even the president has
no term limits that can be enforced. So why have them?

A ban on political donations from lobbyists or PACs...

YES!

Politicians have to sit out a year before lobbying other politicians.

For Life,
Lee

I was aware of how he likely got the insider info, just not sure how they
could prove it. Industry standards are a start. If I were married to a Congressperson, I think I would want to have my assets somewhere "clean"
where there could be no doubt that there was no funny business.

That is probably why I am not, and will never be, a member of "the elite!"

They have their ways in the private industry... If you over hear something... a janitor or secretary and make trades on that you'll be fined 3X the profit and possibly go to jail.... As it comes to our leaders it's an easy one... if their family stock trades start to correlate the lawmaker's lawmaking then the same thing applies.

It would just make sense if the lawmaker put things into a blind trust or was able to use a few mutual funds or something... All of these bastards are crooked...

Join congress... U'll be rich in no time..

And how hard would it be to contact with stock trading company to handle this stuff.

"Here's my stocks. You guys trade them and take 10% off any profit you make, but I don't get to tell you what to do until I - or my family member - is out of office."

Don't people use trading companies all the time?

Another reason the Elitists don't want Trump in office: he'll investigate how they became millionaires on gov't salaries.

It's easy enough... People will have to register... Once people are known then they can monitor and audit. It would be more than easy to see if there is a correlation to what the lawmaker knows and what trades are made ...

This should extend to property transactions as well... Pelosi worked out some kind of offramp from a freeway within blocks of a property she owned and her property value went up by millions...

There should be strict laws and stiff penalties if laws are broken...

We want people in office to serve and not getting rich.
