Tom Koos embraces fellow candidate, Hillary Clinton's efforts to promote comprehensive goverment reform by suporting her 10 point plan for addrerssing the most pressing needs in reestablishing the trust Americans should have in their government.
Americans are ready for a government that puts competency ahead of cronyism.
Government certainly isn't the answer to all our problems. But good government -- smart government -- can be a partner for progress. It can help solve problems and accomplish things together we could never accomplish alone.
We all know that in order to meet the challenges of our day -- to lift up our middle class and hard working families; to establish universal health care, energy independence, and fiscal responsibility; to end the war in Iraq and restore our leadership around the world -- we need a government that will rise to the occasion.
This isn't about big government or small government, it's about smart government. We need a return to transparency and a system of checks and balances, to a president who respects Congress's role of oversight and accountability. We need a 21st century government to meet our 21st century challenges
Here is a bold, 10-point plan to restore Americans' confidence in their government by increasing transparency and cutting waste and corruption. Her plan includes:
-
Strengthening whistleblower protections.
-
Creating a public service academy.
-
Ending abuse of no-bid government contracts and posting all contracts online.
-
Cutting 500,000 government contractors.
-
Restoring the Office of Technology Assessment.
-
Publishing budgets for every government agency.
-
Implementing Results America Initiative to track government effectiveness.
-
Tracking and eliminating corporate welfare.
-
Banning Cabinet officials from lobbying a Tom Koos administration.
-
Expanding voting access and safeguarding voting machines.
