Thread: Is there anyway we can throw out politicians now?

I Don't want to wait for another election.....there must be a way we can fire them now!

I'm no expert but I think impeachment is the only process for removing an elected person from office.

I have said for a long time we should have an amendment to the Constitution that allows for a vote of no confidence like England has in their Parliment. And that might just be for the Prime Minister.
Parliment can have a vote anytime on the matter, it is just yah or nah.
If they get the vote of no confidence, end of story, pack your bags, your done.

We need that for the All elected officials. If they know they can get voted right back out, it may have a calming effect on their genetically imprinted need to be crooked.

Why, who you got in mind?

It wouldn't be king george would it? Somehow he has insulation, and they have already told him so on day 1 of the new Congress.
But, if anyone in the history of the United States deserves it, its that one.
Have you ever even imagined a worse leader in your life?

I'm talking total takeover of anyone who is willing to knife American workers in the back and give amnesty!

I want most of them gone! They are Anti-American everything!

I have never seen so many in Washington that are working so hard to destroy America and her citizens!!

It's not only this, it's giving China, India, Mexico and every other Country our jobs and $$$$.

Maybe we should draw up our own reform bill.....Americans Reforming Washington!

Depends on who the official is. Many states have recall election provisions for some offices. Typically, what is required is a petition signed by a given percentage of the electorate. Once the given percentage of petitioners is verified, an election may be set. You may recall that there was a gubernatiorial recall election in California a few years ago that ousted Gray Davis.

Don't forget the Declaration of Independence.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light or transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shewn, 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, itis their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.

What We the People seem to have forgotten, most conveniently for the elected, is just how loud a voice we have. If that part of the Declaration doesn't ring true, I don't know what does.

The Confederacy's loss of the unCivil War pretty much shot down the Declaration of Independence's concept of severability of the compact between the states and the central government.

Sad but true Crocket. I like your statements as they remind me of the truth as it stands, not the way I tend to cloud my mind with the original foundations. And how We the People should be conducting ourselves, and our representatives too.

But I'm not going to stop trying to get the foundations re-established for the good of the people, and our nation.
