We the People - Let's Fire All the Politicians
73
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
These are some great words in our preamble to govern our great country.
We the People have the power to bring real change to Washington. We the People all get to vote November 2010 for all our elected representative in congress. The entire 435 members of congress are up for re-election along with 34 senators. If We the People decide to vote them all out of office at the November election in 2010 we would definitely bring some major changes (for good) to Washington. I remember Alan Cranston a senator from California who was reprimanded for his dealings in the Keating affair. He decided not to run for a 5th term and made the comment that Washington will never change as long as money is available to buy influence over legislation. I have heard others say that after you win and go to Washington you find such an intoxication of power that your new objective is to build your war chest for the next election. It is also well known that special interest and money buys votes. Unfortunately for We the People, our elected representatives are more interested in staying in office than doing what is right. The recent opting out by our representatives for the Government Run Health Care Program is the pinnacle of elitisms from this arrogant Washington crowd. I think we need to start a grassroots movement to kick all the bums out of Washington and keep doing it every 2 years. They will get the message that the American people have had enough and that politics is not a government system to feed the powerful and wealthy. I would rather see a housewife with kids go to Washington to serve for 2 years knowing that she would have to come back home and live the rest of her life with those decisions she made. She would be more concerned with how her decisions will affect her and her family when she returns home.
Kicking the bums out of Washington would break the special interests stranglehold that is pulling this country down and corrupting our elected representative, but We the People have the power to change that. I think this idea is over due and would bring some good changes and a better fiscally run government.
We the People have a little more than a year before the next election to bring some major change to Washington that would better serve us all. Lets vote the bums (incumbents) out and the housewives in.
Look at this following radical document from our founding fathers for some inspiration:
Our Declaration of Independence
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity, which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
Lets take our country back from the evil of politics.
We the People are the only ones who can.
Lets do it.

When Congress passes legislation that no human can possibly read and understand; when Congresspersons openly declare that they will not read legislation before voting on it; when Congress allows any President to prepare and implement legislation through a panel of czars who have never undergone any public scrutiny; when Congress passes legislation that the constituents overwhelming oppose because those constitutents are naive about what is best for the country; then it is time to clean house. Term limits are long overdue. The voters should reject any candidate for Congress who professes to be a "career politician." Lets return to the concept of "public service" as opposed to "public employment."
Thanks Publius 1787 for your comment. It's time to clean the house.
Thanks again,

Caputo, et al vs. Obama.
I want to start a Class Action Law Suit against Barack Hussein Obama for putting me, my Children and my Grand Children $800,000,000,000.00 Billion Dollars in debt and destroying their future.
Anyone out there want to join me in this Class Action Law Suit?
Any Lawyer out there want to handle this Law Suit?

ps: In the 'short scale', which is used predominantly by America, a billion is 1000 million: 1,000,000,000.
Hi Tony,
I don't think we can sue our elected government representatives. But I think your right the future isn't looking very bright. They are already estimating high inflation next year. I just think we need to clean "House" and get rid of all our politicians next year and keep it cleaned out. This would send a message that our representatives are going to become public servants not wealth and power seeking politicians controlled by special interest.
Thanks for your comments. Greg
it is truly time to take back our rites as pepole.we have more self seving crmials in our gov. than i can list here but take a look for your self.while we break our backs 40-70 hours a week they live off our backs and that is not good engouht they have spent the next several generations into slavery as well is that what we want to leav our children pleas help lets get rid of every government offical from top to bottom lets set term limits on congress lets insist they have the same health care we have the same retierment options we have after all they work for us !!! ted kennedy wrote 140 laws all bad for america come pepole wake up
Thanks cujoe for the comment. It is time we take back control of our government. The best thing we can do is vote them all out each election. Then they will see government service as a service and not a lucrative career. Thanks gain. Greg
May the good LORD our GOD, have mercy on we the people and our country the USA
Hi Denny, I think it might be too late. Our sins are many and our good Lord might be raising up an enemy to humble us. Iran really feels called of God to attack us.
Lord willing He will protect us.
Thanks for the comment. Greg
But wait, was not Mr Obama the will of the people? Was He not elected by them? Will He not do right if thugs quit to oppose Him? And what my friends of the years of experience that shall be lost if the Congress is put from power? Believe is Mr Obama, He is good man. He is the only hope we can believe in. Peace.
daffid, I do not think that bigger government and more taxes will help solve our problems. It is well understood that until we get money out of politics our elected representatives will continue to cater to special interest. I would like to see a 2 year service to the people and then have them go back to work and live with their decisions. Thanks, Greg
o the corrupt politicians.let all your rep know your on to them.they all get thrown out with the bath water.stop the silly health care joke there trying to pull on the citizens of this great country.we will take back this country and they will be shamed
Hi billieoday, Thanks for the comment and I think you are right they are all corrupt.
Thanks again, Greg

Scott C.
Hi Scott C, I think the storm clouds are beginning to gather and it wont be long before the people rise and say enough. I just hope they realize that politics will corrupt even good people, so all must go. We need some good public servants for a change. Thanks for the comment. Greg

I think this what this county needs. You're right, we the people, rather says it all. The government is elected by the people for the people. Grassroots activity is taking place. Keep me posted on anything you may hear please.
Thanks!!
