Thread: A REVOLUTION TO TAKE BACK THE U.S. CONGRESS

A REVOLUTION TO TAKE BACK THE U.S. CONGRESS

by Nelson Lee Walker



I am proposing that we create a popular, bloodless, political revolution in our country.

I believe that it is very necessary, very possible, and very doable.

The object of this revolution is the destruction of the professional political class which currently dominates and corrupts the US Congress.

I am convinced, as are many, many voters, that the bulk of our country's political problems arises out of this 'permanent' Congressional political class, and their devotion to party power and to the financial special interests keeping them in power.


There is a simple method that voters can use to create this revolution: That way is to...NEVER REELECT any Congressional incumbent, in either party, in either the House or the Senate, good guys or bad,. Just NEVER REELECT any of them!

It can be done easily and at no cost. All it takes is a national email campaign by all voters, convincing their friends, and their friends, and their friends, to send out this NEVER REELECT message, frequently, thru out 2008, 2010, and 2012, and maybe longer...Just NEVER REELECT!

If we succeed in doing this for two or three election cycles, we would sharply reduce the
rate of successful reelections for the careerist professional politicians, which currently stands at over 98% in the House. Similarly in the Senate. When they find that they are no longer virtually guaranteed to be reelected forever (like Kennedy and Dingle, over 50 years each, just two examples), they will drop out and get jobs elsewhere.

This would leave room for and encourage 'citizen legislators' to run for and win office, using the Internet, without the help of special interests. It would break the back of the special interests who will have to work ten times harder to try to poison a huge batch of freshmen every cycle.

The resulting larger contingent of freshman Congresspeople would enable us, the voters, to call for term limits of "Six Years and Out", and for publicly funded federal elections. Both of these changes would keep the professional politicians and their financial backers on the sidelines for a long, long time.

Let's do it!

I agree with alot that you stated but I live in Ted Poe's district and he is a 'good guy.' Do we get rid of him - one who is fighting for the border agents - Ramos & Compean - plus fighting for the sovereignty of the United States?

If this is so, and to be honest, I really don't know, go ahead and vote for him. I figure if we have even a 70% total firing rate, and maybe leave one or two who listen to us, it might put the fear of the people into these narcissistic idiots.

I say in the ballot box, the rule of thumb should be that we take AIM (ANTI INCUMBENT MOVEMENT), vote for ANYBODY but the incumbent.

Just NEVER REELECT any of them!
Six years and out

These two things would solve so many problems. People who make a career of being in Congress are destroying the country.

Absolute Vodka needs to run that ad, in a perfect world.

Those I would keep

Royce
Bilbray
Hunter (new son)
Sessions
DeMint
Vitter
Rohrbacker
and a few others

but most need to go including my present congress person

I support term limits of 8-12 years but not this.
