"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." Samuel Adams, 1776
This post is dedicated to a new(ish) movement to replace every member of congress. Seriously? Please?
I posted about it a couple of weeks ago but it’s grown exponentially since then. Crazy.
Here are two videos that I want you to watch. If you don’t agree that this is new and fresh after watching it then you can go back to hitting the “straight party” box on your local voting machine.
The website is here: http://goooh.com/
The book about the process is here (I haven’t read this): http://www.amazon.com/Get-Out-Our-House-Representatives/dp/1934454036/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1261478502&sr=8-1
I thought about this last night because I tried to call my Senator to voice my opinion about her healthcare vote. Agree or disagree I should be able to let her know what my views are. I tried every number available for her and was shunted to voicemail every time. The only problem with that was that the mailbox was full so she voted without hearing my voice. I sent her an email and got no response (of course). This movement starts at the lowest level of Government and starts a cleaning/clearing process.
I’m for that.
