Require ALL individuals testifying before Congress to wear lie detector devices with real-time displays of truthfulness

Created by S.L. on February 16, 2013

It should be mandatory for all individuals testifying before Congress to wear a lie detector during testimony with a real-time public display showing the truthfulness of that individual's responses. Congressional hearings are conducted for the purpose of obtaining truthful testimony about critical issues that can affect the lives of all Americans. The integrity of individuals testifying before Congress must be verifiable during hearings as their statements may strongly influence Congressional decisions on policies and laws. Americans deserve to know that the testimonial basis upon which Congress makes important decisions is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth- this is essential to fundamentally transforming government decision making and moving forward on transparency.
