If I were able to reach a wider audience, I would extol the virtues of voting Congress out every 6 years. There is no more crucial way of insuring proper Congressional legislature as the idea that a person will only have 6 years or less to get work done. This would allow for a regular turn over of personnel and leave no room for the current custodial thinking and deal making. Our Congress has essentially thumbed their noses at the voters by politispeak and the Congressional posturing we know so well. The idea that we elected them and our voices should be heard rather than the big donors and lobbyists is foreign to most of them. During the “campaign” season (all year) our tax dollars and donations pay for their indiscretions and errors while they continually assail the President (who ever that is) and cover their own Butts. The idea that Congress is working for the voters is ludicrous to say the least. These past several years have shown the true colors and make up of our Congress, they have been shown to be no better than the vilest of villains from our past history. They are as bad as some of the worse criminals we have read about and some who are currently incarcerated but they are unencumbered by bars or monitoring devices. These “representatives” apparently feel they are above the law even in the light of the trials and convictions their colleagues. Some of these disgraced political figures are not ashamed of what they have done and have even become lobbyists for the same companies and to their former colleagues. What we have are criminals in Congressional clothing who still believe the voters will forgive then and keep them in office. It is time to say enough!
