Time for Contract With America II

You know what they say about movies: "Sequels are never equals". It's an even rarer movie where the sequel surpasses the original (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan comes to mind!), but I believe it is time that the conservatives in this country take advantage of this crisis of leadership in the nation, as it were, and nationalize the upcoming midterm elections, as was done in 1994.
We need to have a set of unifying principles that we can get our candidates to adhere to to and rally around in 2010.

I'll start the discussion with two:

First: It should be the law of the land that no congressman should be allowed to vote on any legislation they have not personally read and understood. Getting rid of 1000+ page monstrosities might be one means of attaining that. If it slows down the process, or if they have to "hire an attorney" to accomplish it, as some have claimed, then so be it! Although, personally, I am at a loss to comprehend how many staffers are available to Congress, most Senators and Congressmen are lawyers, and yet they claim to be in need of legal counsel!

Second: Resurrect one of the original reforms from the Contract With America: Require that all laws that apply to the rest of the country apply to Congress as well.

Then, maybe we'll come up with some catchy movie type catch phrase, like...
This time, it's personal! Or something like that...

I'm open to suggestion. Let's hear your ideas! Other tenets or reforms to be included in a new Contract With America?
