Liberal Bias

How about conservative selfishness. Do you not think the infrastructure in this country needs fixing? How about the transportation system? How about implementing an energy policy instead of paying it lip service? How about stimulating more research & development in the field of medicine? And you just want a lower tax bill, spoken like a true conservative.

Expansion of Federal Health Care to Uninsured

First, I'd like to ask how the proposed plan to include the un- insured under the FEHB plans would affect the costs and coverage of the plans offered currently to of civil servants. Will our plan rates increase/ coverage decrease as presumably uninsured individuals are folded into our plan?
Second, any chance to get answers to any of these important questions?

If we honestly want change in the goverment, it will not be initiated by any candidate, but by the federal worker who will be pro active in reporting the waste and fraud that is common in our place of employment. Is there anyone out there that is willing to take the plunge? I sure wont, as we know the consequences of such. The status quo will remain, as we are all pretty comfortable in watching this continue and eventually it will come to an end when we retire. An organization that believe spending billions on going to Mars has to look at itself first, before focusing on any candidate. When we do, then we will heal ourselves.
Closing the Pay Gap

My question for the candidates would be, "Except in times of emergency, Presidents are suppose to work toward a pay comparability with the private sector. If elected, will this president close the pay gap between the private and public sector, or will he/she declare a 'economic emergency' and dole out some small COLA?

11. What is your strategy for managment of federally owned lands, such as National Parks, National Monuments, National Forests, National Wildlife Refuges?
This question helps to reveal a candidate's knowledge of these federal lands and the future of those lands.
Question for the new President

Q: Will you negotiate programatic outcome measure goals with the Secretaries of Departments and hold them accountable for achieving those objectives?
Many of Mr. Gilson's questions go to efforts to improve individual and agency performance. However, the explicit and implicit organizational change needed to improve individual and agency organizational performance will not occur unless it is actively supported by the President and his/her "top" political appointees. We need to know whether we have a President committed to improving organizational performance or one committed to talking about improvement and blaming all failures on others. We need to know whether we have a President who will "walk they talk" by spending his/her personal time wrestling with these difficult, challenging issues.

I would suggest that each candidate for president or any other elected official be asked one year to six months before the election, what will you do if elected and how will you do it. This information could be published on this website or any number of web-sites. It could also be published so that people with computer acccess would have access to this information.
Then, six months to 3 months before the election a mock election is held. All federal employees who vote must agree to support the candidate that get the majority of the votes. At the end of their term in office an elected candidate can verify how much of what they said they were going to do they actually accomplished.
If a candidate didn't fulfill his promises this would be considered if he/she ran for public office again.
