What Congress’ New Year’s Resolutions Should Be

Editorial Cartoon by Glenn Foden (@GlennFo)

by Genevieve Wood: Republicans don’t need to come up with a list of 2015 New Year’s resolutions. The promises they made on the campaign trail in 2014 will do just fine.

Repealing Obamacare, securing the border and putting a stop to President Obama’s unconstitutional executive actions come to mind as promises that should be kept.

But like many New Year’s resolutions, campaign promises are often forgotten. And with a presidential election now just two years away, there will be a tendency by some elected officials and party bosses to start making new promises instead of fulfilling the pledges that just got them elected.

Conservative and independent voters who gave the GOP control of Congress in November are expecting better.

What campaign promise(s) do you most want the new Congress to fulfill? Tweet them to me @GenevieveWood or email them to me: Genevieve.Wood@DailySignal.com. My New Year’s resolution? Hold them accountable.
