Thread: HOW TO STOP THE SENATE SELLOUT OF AMERICA

We could vote to impeach Bush - I already have.

We could vote for a recall of Senators - NOT IN THE LAWS AT THIS TIME
It should be.

SOMETHING WE CAN DO NOW! call for an organized push for
TERM LIMITS.

Many of the senators voting for this "amnesty" sellout have been around too long and their arrogance and sense they don't have to answer to "legal" Americans is part of the problem.

WE HAVE NOT MADE THEM ANSWER FOR THEIR ACTIONS AND NOW WE HAVE TO HIT THEM HARD TO GET THEIR ATTENTION.

Here's the simple solution.
It's the one simple thing voters were supposed to be doing all along.

By the way, TERM LIMITs is probably a good idea.
However, who will pass that BILL?
Congress will never pass that BILL.
Voters will have to do their part FIRST.

The problem is not just bad politicians.
It's too many voters that keep re-electing them.

Also, how many people are aware that Congress is ignoring 567 requests by all 50 state legislatures for an Article V Convention to request amendments?

A great website full of good ideas.
I am sending this to UNITY08. they are still taking suggestions on a platform for presidential candidates.

Many "legal" Americans will not want to vote for Republicans or Democrats in 2008.

A viable alternative UNITY08' or an independent ticket.

I've always been a huge supporter of term limits, but unfortunately my enthusiasm for term limits has been tempered by reality. How many in our U.S. Congress do you think are going to actually vote to end their own career? Nice thought, but it's not going to happen.

You give up too easily. A push for term limits is a stick to hold over the heads of a Senate already in trouble with the American people.

At the above link you can register, by state and email address. This group wants to start a grassroots effort in every state to hold Congress accountable in any way we can.
THEY HAVE SOME GREAT IDEAS

TennesseeDaughter,

You're absolutely right.
We need to push for TERM LIMITS.
We also need to push for a LOT of other badly-needed things, like:

• [] a BALANCED BUDGET Amendment?
  [] a ONE-PURPOSE-PER-BILL Amendment?
  [] Monetary System Reform?
  []Tax Reform?
  [] common-sense Immigration Reform?
  [] Election Reform?
  [] Campaign Finance Reform?
  [] an Article V Convention?

However, Congress is VERY unlikely to ever pass any of these badly-needed, common-sense, no-brainer reforms voluntarily.

Voters must use their vote wisely to do what the voters were supposed to be doing all along, always. Stop re-electing irresponsible incumbent politicians. Stop blindly pulling the party-lever (i.e. voting straight ticket).

Congress will not reform itself.
But Voters can (and should) peacefully force Congress to be responsible and accountable too.
But it will never happen as long as voters keep rewarding the politicians for ignoring the voters.
It will never happen as long as voters keep rewarding the politicians by repeatedly re-electing them.
Voters must stop complaining about politicians, and then blindly re-electing them.

Otherwise, most voters will suffer the consequences of their own making.
Otherwise, the voters will only have themselves to thank for it.

Already, some painful consequences are already in the pipeline.
Things might seem OK now, but they also seemed OK right before the Great Depression.

Here's a poem written twenty years ago by an old guy named Grandpa Nate from Rawlins Wyoming . . .

VATI VATI (That's V, A, T, I, with a long "A", and long "I". )

As Mighty Rome Fell, America Could Die.
Whether It Falls Or Not, Is Up To You And I.

I worried and stewed, but by-and-by,
came up with a plan, where you and I,
can put America on a road, to a brand-new high.
Just blame the politicians, get blood in your eye,
and vote against the incumbents. VATI, VATI.

Now just voting won’t do it, we’ve got to VATI.
That's V, A, T, I, with a long "A", and long "I".
Vote Against The Incumbents, and you VATI.
Things will never get better, until we VATI.
Vote against the incumbents, VATI, VATI.

There is no time, to just set and sigh.
America will fail, without you and I.
The time has come, we must do or die.
We must all vote, and we must VATI.
Vote against the incumbents, VATI, VATI.

Things won't just get better, by-and-by.
Unless the apathetic voters, you and I,
hit those poles with blood in our eye.
And not only vote, but wisely VATI,
Vote against the incumbent. VATI, VATI.

We must not buy, some political lie,
the America we love, is about to die.
Politicians no longer, serve you and I,
but all acquiesce, to the powers that buy.
Vote against the incumbents. VATI, VATI.

The newly elected may want to serve you and I,
until that powerful pac-money catches their eye.
Then party loyalty becomes, their big lie.
As they vote with the Pac, for their piece of the pie.
Vote against the incumbents, VATI, VATI.

Congressmen and Senators are nigh as apt to die,
as meet defeat at the poles, by you and I.
They know we'll vote for 'em, they don't have to try.
America is declining, as democracy goes awry.
Vote against the incumbent. VATI, VATI.

Waxing fat on the apathy, shown by you and I,
politicians became hogs, and Washington's a sty.
But we can change all that, in the blink of an eye,
if we just get off our apathy, and dutifully VATI.
Vote against the incumbents. VATI, VATI.

If just one out of twenty, of us would VATI,
we'd get nigh a forth of that Washington sty.
Now that might he to few, to help you and I,
But we'd darn sure make, the rest of them shy.
Vote against the incumbents. VATI, VATI.

And when; "Foul, foul", the politicians cry.
And charge that; "great careers will sadly die."
Stand up and look them, straight in the eye,
And vow; "Losing only makes the truly-great try."
Vote against the incumbents. VATI, VATI.

From the County Coroner, to that Washington sty,
if you don't love the incumbent, always VATI.
Help turn America toward, a brand-new high.
Teach your kids and your friends, they must VATI.
Vote against the incumbents. VATI, VATI.

If the state of America, makes you want to cry,
then help start a revolution, no one has to die.
Our party loyalty sent elections go so far awry.
And we can fix that error, just revolt and VATI.
Vote against the incumbents. VATI, VATI.

Part your 2nd and 3rd finger; that "V" means VATI.
Send this to a friend, who you think will comply.
Let's all band together and give'em a black eye.
VATI, VATI, and hearty bye-bye.

Grandpa Nate @ Rawlins, Wyoming.
