...highway bills. The House and Senate should adopt new rules: No member of the House or Senate may hold, participate in or attend political fund-raising activities while his or her branch of Congress is open for business. Here's my favorite part: if Trent Lott and Newt Gingrich bring it to a vote, no one will vote against...
...Increase the limit on hard-money contributions in federal races to $5,000. It sounds loony, but Gingrich is right when he says there isn't enough money in campaigns. The question is what kind of money. I propose raising the limit from $1,000 to $5,000 a person each election.

Senate Republicans may be leaning towards accepting. Newt Gingrich, who says he wants to know if some Democratic fund-raising techniques led to Chinese espionage, has advocated trading some form of immunity for information. "I think it is very important and I think it is encouraging," said Thompson. "But if he has hatched some sort of a plan...
