another poll showing our stupidity
Zogby (i think thats the one) found that a large majority of people believe congress is corrupt and doesnt care about the average citizn's concerns; another poll shows satisfaction with a specific member of congress! In other words congress stinks but not my rep!!!
Result: Incumbents firmly in place forever.

1. Answer: one-shot, 6-year terms for all politicians...no re-elections
Most of our politicians spend too much of their time worrying about the next election phase than about issues facing this country.

Limit them to one yearm at 6 years and maybe some shit will get accomplished.

2. It is discouraging, but
I talk frequently to my 37-year old son in GA. His take is "they are all corrupt - they are all alike & my vote doesn't count anyway." I agree with him & say "Yup. You are voting for people that lie to you, steal from you, send you to an unjust war, and sell you into slavery after raping you. Vote for people that only steal from you."

It's a difference, but a critical one. Speak up. Never miss an opportunity to educate those around you. We have the groundswell of a "truth tsunami" starting and it is your patriotic duty to spread the truth.
