Petition request

That the House of Representatives make it illegal for politicians to tell lies or spread misinformation.

Petition reason

I believe politicians get away with telling far too many lies, and spreading too much misinformation. In my view, it is important that politicians be transparent and honest, and be held accountable for their lies.
