If the Dems and the President were smart they’d get behind this full force.
Make the Republicans be against this.  Some of it is silly and goes against
Senate tradition but it would go over well I think.

Bennet to Propose Senate
Reforms<http://politicalwire.com/archives/2010/03/03/bennet_to_propose_senate_reforms.html>

Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) "will announce an ambitious set of reforms to
change many of the rules under which his colleagues work, including an
effort to restrict earmarks and limit the filibuster," the Denver
Post<http://www.denverpost.com/ci_14502062>reports.

"Using a scheduled midmorning speech on the Senate floor, Bennet will
propose a package of bills that would cut a broad swath across a set of
practices and procedures that have become notorious symbols of a gridlocked
Capitol."

"He will propose eliminating anonymous holds, banning private-sector
earmarks, freezing pay and budgets for members of Congress, and barring
lawmakers from lobbying for life."
