The entire political system is corrupt and decayed through and through. I know it, you know it, we all know it. All major parties. Federal and local officeholders. Driven by an apparent lust for power, they all have little problem saying what they think must be said, voting the way they think they must, to win re-election. They presumptuously talk to us as if we were all ignorant children in their care, and they wizened sages...neither of which is true. They are not our masters; they are our employees. They fritter away our funds on wasteful ventures and expenditures as if they had found a bottomless gold mine. They are mostly inept, making judgments on matters about which they have little if any knowledge or experience, passing laws they brazenly admit they haven't even fully read.. Their word is as good as their bond, and their bond is worthless.
What do we do? We the people have the power, we hold the purse strings. The nature of the political landscape is such that if even only 10% or 20% of us agree to the following, it will alter the course of politics in our country and return our government and our nation to us.
First, we re-elect no one. Throw them ALL out of office at the end of their term. We start anew, a la the Founding Fathers.
Second, we vote only for those who agree to support the following amendments to the Constitution:
1. there will be midterm recall elections that may be called by the people to throw the corrupt and incompetent out of office
2. to cut the cost of government, each State will have one Senator and one Representative
3. no new bill may be passed for which required funds are not presently available
4. all existing welfare programs are shut down at the end of the year.
5. any elected official.who takes or votes for a different position than
he or she took in the campaign is ipso facto removed from office
6. judges will be appointed by State bar association.
And those are our first steps. Behind them, whatever it takes to restore our unfettered rights.
WHATEVER.
