I propose congress be prohibited from sponsoring any bill which includes any provision for naming a program, entitlement, street, highway, bridge, sewer (well, okay, we’ll leave that one in) building, monument, community, tree, insect, vegetable, asteroid, comet, planet, and/or anything else after a sitting senator or congressman and for up to 25 years after leaving office. Further, no community or local, county, state or federal government body may name any of the above mentioned items after a sitting senator or congressman and for up to 25 years after leaving office.  Why tempt them with free advertising?

  1. Mark Shot Says:

    For my entire life, I have been worried about what we would name the next planet found in or solar system. I could finally rest knowing that this bill would solve that problem.

  2. Rich Levy Says:

    Include presidents in this idea, too.

  3. Keith Says:

    It would put an HUGE burden on W.Virginias budget to have to change all those signs and building names.

  4. Phil Says:

    To Mark Shot at 2:02am: We don’t name planets, the International Astronomical Union does. Sleep easy, Mark. Sleep easy.

    PS: Does this mean no more Reagan items for at least 6 more years?

  5. Just passing by Says:

    Can we un-name all the Reagan stuff? I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t want to have the world’s biggest office building and the Washington airport anyway.

  6. Just passing by Says:

    That is, GOVERNMENT office building.

  7. Angie Carrai Says:

    I have said for years that anything paid for with taxpayers’ money should be required to have that in the name….not some scoundrel name who put in for the “appropriation” so all the Robert Byrd things in WVA would be The US Taxpayer Such and So building, road, etc.

    It wouldn’t be too long before people realized what their money was really being spent on and hopefully it would put a stop to it.
