We believe:
Americans have a reasonable desire for honest and transparent government, and that all Americans of whatever political leanings share an interest in achieving that goal.
American society holds to the principle that the law applies equally to all. There is no aristocracy here in America, as we are all created equal! Official status is not a "get out of jail free" card.
The vast majority of ordinary Americans willingly obey the nation's laws and pay their taxes honestly.
Within our national leadership there are those who seem to be able to get away with making long term errors (cheating) on their taxes, and ignoring other laws - some of which they created.
This situation creates a serious, dangerous, loss of trust in government by the American people.

Because of these principles, our mission:
WE ARE IMMEDIATELY CALLING FOR A COMPREHENSIVE TAX AUDIT OF THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES, TO BE FOLLOWED BY A SIMILAR AUDIT OF ALL SENIOR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS.
Our Propositon: To restore public confidence in our high elected officials, the annual tax audit is a tool, for the People of the United States, to ensure that tax compliance is not an Us versus Them issue. Unlike the financial disclosure standards currently in place, the annual audit approach uses a checks and balances mechanism, where one arm of the Federal Government ensures the compliance of another, and where openness and transparency on the subject of tax compliance for leaders is administered through the rule of law.
