THE TRUTH BE TOLD

Did you know that it is a crime to lie to a federal officer even when not under oath and that it is not a crime for a federal or state officeholder to lie to the American people?


If I ruled the world it would be a crime for any sitting officeholder or party nominee running for office to knowingly lie to the American people. It only seems fair, they work for us and we have a right to expect fair dealing and the truth from our employees. In what other enterprise would lying to the boss be tolerated even for a second?


The punishment upon conviction?

• Immediate removal from office 
• A fine of $100,000. per material falsehood
• A mandatory 1 year in jail

If such a law existed, it would either;

(A) Become very quiet in Washington and the various statehouses around the country

(B) Cause a significant increase in our already over crowded prison population

or

(C) Mean that we would finally, finally have the chance to be well served by the people we hire to represent our interests.

Either way, we the people win.
