I seem to recall that We, The People, clearly expressed our discontent with status quo at the last national election.
THE RESULTS ARE IN: Continued congressional bikering and gridlock and next to nothing accomplished except our tax dollars blowing out the door in horrible excess of what's coming in.
The Senate has failed us. The United States is now Bankrupt and the bailout plan is not getting rave reivews.
Simply put - any viable beginning plan for any important issue will ultimately be watered down and inadequate after Congress and the Senate are done with it.
What Can We Do?
1. Vote - No matter what. We might want to consider starting the CHANGE we need with a vote for a new representative as most all incombents have failed us in my opinion. If "We the People" could cause an 80 or 90% turnover - we might get their attention.
2. Learn About the Issues - Do Not Trust any single news network to give you the whole story and understand that only a fraction of the news is on television. A simple internet search on the subject will reveal a wealth of well researched information.
3. Consider Supporting a national right to Initiative & Referendum. Until WE, THE PEOPLE, have the right to repeal a bad law and/or make the tough laws, our government will continue to write bad checks and squander our tax dollars.
The People's right to Make A Law by Inititiative is a form of Direct Democracy which has been alive and well at state and local levels since 1777. The Initiative is recognized in 24 states and the District of Columbia. The Initiative is generally combined with the right to Referendum - the People's right to overturn legislation already passed at the state or local levels.
