That parts sounds ok, esp. "with civility, honesty, and fiscal responsibility", but those are easy words to say. Re: "On the very first day, we will pass a reform package, Honest Leadership, Open Government, to make the most corrupt, closed Congress in history into the most open and honest one. We will pass our civility package, which will turn the Congress into an arena of ideas instead of an auction house where legislation goes to the highest bidder."" That could mean something quite negative, at the very least it isn't anything specific. I suppose she might detail what the actual plan is in the rest of the speech, but it sounds like "campaign finance reform", which often means controlling political speech. And which IMO is unlikely to accomplish its own goals, at least not without being extremely draconian.
