7 Broken Promises in Record Time
1. Make government open and transparent.
2. Make it “impossible” for Congressmen to slip in pork barrel projects.
3. Meetings where laws are written will be more open to the public. (Even Congressional Republicans shut out.)
4. No more secrecy.
5. Public will have 5 days to look at a bill.
6. You’ll know what’s in it.
7. We will put every pork barrel project online.

Ai. That is sad.
Of course, some of those were promises that would be hard to keep– putting meeting video online would be problematic, and you can’t actually have a government with no secrecy.
Still, that might be a good thing for a candidate to realize before he makes campaign promises.
