The recent blackout by internet services and their customers appears to have gotten the attention of Congress and postponing indefinitely the legislation on the online piracy of movies. That massive committed action shows how we the people can change the actions of the Legislature by our solidarity. It has been said that even if we vote the current office holders out there are others ready to step in the and walk the same paths. Looking at the result of the recent internet action should give the voters the courage to remove the current office holders while sending the message that the we have had enough. We must remember that our country is in the grips of a neer do well Congress that has pointed the fingers at every President who did not fall in line with their policies. If indeed the Congress were representing the people we would not have the deep divide in Government or the long running problems in the economy. The existing Congressional group have an average of 10 plus years of doing it wrong and blaming someone else . We lean toward believing the highest profile leaders even if their message is off line and other worldly. Their messages are no more than carefully crafted sound bites. These pun like messages tend to grab our attention and move our conscience mind away from the real facts. This is not way a free country is run unless you are looking to regress to the “war of independence” era (you may remember a little dust up in the1770’s). There is only one (1) way to change Congress and it is voting them out. Imagine how an office seeker will feel when they have the knowledge that their official fate is determined by the people.
