PUTTING IT ALL INTO PERSPECTIVE
Great
job America! Way
to hold Congress accountable for what they've done. You just allowed roughly
96% of the incumbents to be reelected, the exact same s.o.b.s that just committed
the worst screwing and betrayal of the American people in history by Bailing
Out Wall Street and giving them total control of the U.S. Treasury! Oh
and we can't forget the blanket immunity that was thrown in for good measure.
You just threw away a golden opportunity to hold them all accountable. You just
ignored an incredible chance to FIRE THEM ALL! Instead
of voting them all out of office, half the voters were content to just dance
around singing the mantra
"Change We can Believe In" as if it was actually going to happen without
cleaning out the den of thieves in the Congress.
While all attention was fixated on the totally controlled presidential race,
everyone ignored the heart of the problem, the Congress! The
powers-that-be con everyone into believing all the power lies with El Presidente.
Well, it doesn't my friends. The Congress has more power than the executive branch
and . . .
The President has no Constitutional authority to do most of
the things they claim they can do. They can only ask the Congress to do what
they want. The Congress could have stopped everything that's happening; the wars,
the Wall Street takeover, the TRILLION DOLLAR defense budget they just passed.
Our so-called representatives have sold us out so many times it makes my head
spin and what do we all do? We not only let them keep their jobs, but you watch,
they will most likely give themselves a raise, like they always do, for the fine
job of screwing us they've done over the last two years. The way
we hold our representatives accountable is to let them keep their $174,000 a
year jobs so they can
stick it to us for another two years! In
case you're wondering, that's $14,500 a month, which includes another $4,700.00
raise they just gave themselves.
Listen. If we are ever going to get a grip on our government,
we're going to have to start acting like the employers that we are. The Congress
critters work for US, not the central bankers and transnational corportions.
What would you do If you owned a company and none of your employees listened
to you, they lied to you, didn't do the jobs you gave them to do, and in fact,
were actually working for your competition and selling your company down the
river as fast as they could? I don't think you'd keep them on and give
them a raise!
Well, that's exactly what we've been doing, only in this case, your company is our Federal Government, and your employees are the 435 members in the House of Representatives and the 100 members of the Senate, virtually all of them working for the transnational corporations (the competition) and they have already achieved a hostile takeover of our government on every level and are using the powers of our own government against us in order to take over our entire nation.
What the heck happened to that thing called "the wisdom of the American people?" You don't reward employees that betray you. YOU FIRE THEM! It's the most obvious and immediate remedy. And you don't worry that their replacement may turn out to be as bad. In fact, it's much less likely the replacements will be as bad when they know you will not tolerate such things, that you will not hesitate to fire anyone that lies and betrays your trust. Employees
are far more likely to toe the line and actually do their jobs as best they can
when they know they can't get away with anything less.
Of course, no analogy is perfect. This one breaks down in the sense that a company couldn't actually fire everyone all at once unless the entire company shut down. Lucky for us, our Congress isn't engaged in actually producing goods or services (the bureaucracies Congress has set up handle all government services). All Congress does is enact laws and authorize spending. It's just the legislative branch of government. We could easily go without any new laws authored by "corporate/special interest" for quite some time. So
in this case, firing a large number of traitorous Congressional employees is
imminently doable and quite frankly is the only thing we can do to slam the brakes
on the corporate driven freight train that is railroading all of us into a nation
ruled by corporate colonialism.
There are people we have elected to Congress who have been there 10, 20, 30,
40, even over 50 years! Our Congress has been betraying our trust and selling
us out for generations. They not only suffer no consequences for what they've done; they've benefited greatly from their wheeling and dealing. They
take an oath to protect our best interests and defend our rights as guaranteed
by the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and yet they make a mockery of that oath.
Republicans and Democrats take the exact same oath of office and very few of
them take it seriously.
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
 There
are several very good reasons we make them all take this oath. The primary reason
is to make it CRYSTAL CLEAR that the job we're hiring them to do is to make sure
nothing unconstitutional happens. I read a quote attributed to Senator John Glenn
the other day in which he said somthing to the effect,
"If we had to apply the Constitution to all the legislation that passes
before us, we wouldn't be able to pass anything."
This is the whole point of the Constitution.
If followed, it limits the ability of the Federal government to tax, regulate
and control our lives. THIS is the job we're hiring representatives to do for
us. We're not hiring them to crank out endless streams of legislation - most
of which only benefits selfish private interests.
Also, strict adherence to the Constitution is the ONLY thing that makes it a
LOT harder for those with the most wealth to seize the powers of government and
use it for their own selfish purposes. Our Congress has totally abdicated
their responsibilities and handed the powers of government over to corporate
interests that have absolutely no allegiance to this nation, to the Constitution,
and certainly not to playing fair. Both major political parties are complicit. They
have shredded the Constitution and Bill of Rights and are about to blow the Constitutional
Confetti into the air as they celebrate "closing the deal" with their "real
employers," the transnational corporate interests that have orchestrated
the whole mess.
The dominant ideologies of the most destructive and powerful transnational corporations are predatory and tyrannical in nature. The notion that they are even remotely interested in such things as "free trade," or democracy flies in the face of basic common sense. The corporations wreaking the most havoc on this planet, the central banks, the military, medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and energy industrial complexes, have set up monopolies and cartels by using the powers of government to legislate and regulate the industries they wish to control. The people inclined to abuse their wealth and power do what they always have done throughout history. They TAKE the most, give the least, and don't give a damn about the rest of humanity.
There is a mountain of evidence, a small fraction of it is posted on this web site, to prove that powerful transnational corporations, through their control of our election process, the legislative powers of government, the courts, the international treaty process, the world's currencies and of course, virtually total control of our mainstream media, have just about totally taken over our country. If we don't take control of Congress away from them, and fast, by a massive act of civil disobedience like this project is proposing (by not voting the way they want us to), we are simply not going to survive as a nation much longer the way things are going.
What sense does it make to allow the vast majority
of people in Congress to remain there for one second longer than absolutely necessary?
There is an endless stream of people pissing and moaning about how Congress is
screwing us up one side and down the other and yet nobody will do a damn thing
to MAKE SURE they all get voted out of office. If we don't make a point of doing
just that, most all of them will get reelected yet again and they will most certainly
give themselves another raise for the fine job of screwing us they've been doing.
Then they will wrap up the task of destroying this country for the International
Bankers, the people they really work for. We pay their salaries and the Bankers
reap all the rewards. It's INSANE to allow any of the people to remain in Congress!
So here's the bottom line. If you're one of those people that
is screaming and yelling and complaining about what the Congress is doing to
us all, and you are not helping to make sure the people doing it are removed
from office, then what's the point of all the complaining? At the very least,
don't you think holding them accountable should mean the people WE KNOW ARE SCREWING
US lose their seat in Congress?
If most people continue to vote the way they usually do, in
a way that allows most incumbents to be reelected, how are we holding any of
them accountable for anything? We need your help to convince enough voters to
vote differently, to deliberately vote for an incumbent's strongest competitor
in order to make sure the incumbent will be voted out of office. We need you
to help us convince enough voters to Vote for America in the upcoming
election, not a political party.
We can totally hijack the upcoming election and use
the power of our votes to effect sweeping change NOW!
"Start by doing what's necessary, then do what's possible,
and suddenly you are doing the impossible." - Francis of Assisi
We must start fixing the mess we're all in
by first "doing what's necessary."
Our employees need to KNOW we will fire them
when they betray our trust.

the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” - Margaret Mead
