Subject: LET'S TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!
----- Original Message ----- From: Margaret Merrick
This is worth consideration. The whole bunch gets corrupted by the "DC system way of doing business." Let's send them a message demanding our country back!
On December 19, 2009, Senator Ben Nelson, democrat, from Nebraska >> was granted immunity by the democratic Senate leadership from Medicaid >> funding mandates that all other states will be required to pay in return >> for his vote to pass the Senate Health Reform Bill. Two weeks ago, >> Senator Mary Landrieu, democrat from Louisiana acquired $300,000,000.00 >> from the Senate democratic leadership for the State of Louisiana in >> return for her vote to save the Senate Health Care Reform Bill. Would >> you consider this blackmail, bribery, corruption at its highest level?
Certainly an option very worthy of your consideration! At least read this. Form your own opinion, even if you disagree with this issue, but at least read it.. You and I owe that to our country.
All I ask is that you consider the suggestion here.
The entire Congress of the United States is corrupt .. And I mean both Houses and I mean both major parties.
I realize that a few Members of each House are trustworthy, but, as a group they are absolutely the most corrupt bunch to ever disgrace our Nation. In November of 2010 the entire House of Representatives will stand for re-election; all 435 of them. One third of the Senate, a total of 33 of them, will also stand for re-election.
Vote every incumbent out.
And I mean every one of them. No matter their Party affiliation. Let's start all over in the House of Representatives with 435 people who have absolutely no experience in running that body, with no political favors owed to anyone but their own constituents.
Let's make them understand that they work for us. They are answerable to us and they simply have to run that body with some common sense.
Two years later, in 2012, vote the next third of the incumbents in the Senate out. We can do the same thing in 2014 and, by that time we will have put all new people in that body as well.
We, the People, have got to take this Country back and
we HAVE to do it peacefully. That's what the Framers of our Constitution envisioned. I am also suggesting term limits on the NEW BUNCH -- 8 YEARS FOR REPRESENTATIVES. AND 12 YEARS [2 terms] FOR SENATORS. NO EXCEPTIONS. THE LONGER THEY STAY IN OFFICE THE MORE POWER THEY GET AND THEY LOVE IT AND WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET RE-ELECTED. WE HAVE TERM LIMITED THE PRESIDENT - NOW LET'S TERM LIMIT THE LEGISLATORS.
And we do away with their Special Retirement system
and their health program (they should have same health
programs everyone else in America does). When they
are through serving their country they go back to being
private citizens. They should view their service as a
privilege; after all it was designed to be a part time job
to represent the voice of the people, NOT the special
interest groups and those who can do favors for them.
If they don't like this proposal then don't run for office.
Please, if you love this Country, send this (as I have done) to absolutely everyone whose email address appears in your address book.
This thing can permeate this Country in no time.
Let's make it happen.
VOTE THE POWER ABUSERS OUT........LET'S TAKE
AMERICA BACK !!!!!!!!!
IF YOU LIKE THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING IN OUR COUNTRY,
THEN DO NOTHING.........
THIS MOVEMENT IS A RAPIDLY GROWING GRASS ROOTS MOVEMENT TO TAKE >> BACK CONTROL OF OUR GOVERNMENT.
