It has crossed my mind that those we elect to Congress or Senate are, possibly, as clueless about what the people who voted for him expect as the voters are regarding how he will represent them. After all, they usually only receive constituent’s letters when something wrong happens or is about to happen.
I believe that when we vote them into office they deserve to routinely hear from as many constituents as is possible to voice opinions on legislation, policies, and their performance in their duty to us. We put them there because they wanted to be there. We now owe it to them to supervise or oversee their representation of We the People. This need to communicate is even more necessary now that the dems are in control and racing toward a socialist remake of the US
In support of this and to give the Voter’s Revolt some useful info I will post the links to the Representitives’ official websites of two or more states each week, more if I can. Each post will also include the link to the complete House member list with the same info for those who wish not to wait. This will just make it easier for some to actually write their congressman.
These websites have district maps to show the regions they represent, an e-mail page to send them your thoughts, and phone numbers and addresses of their home offices. The e-mail page has a screening page where you must enter your zip code to verify you as a constituent. This is per House rules that prohibits congressmen from attempting to influence other district voters and vice versa.
My own experience with writing my representitive has been surprisingly successful at actually getting my letters into the hands of the congressman and him responding to them. I write my rep an e-mail two or three times a month just to tell him he should be opposing this or that, supporting the other thing, letting him know that he is not ever mentioned as one who actively protests or, in other means, makes the news as being an activist for republican party values, or to praise him for doing just that. He knows my views well and probably anticipates my correspondence.
The Voter’s Revolt is my effort to unite all American voters, regardless of party, in a common cause of sweeping Congress and the Senate clean and electing new, more eager members who will be more willing to conduct business in the voter’s best interests.
All parties can take part in the Revolt by just voting for a new nominee from their party. This action has to be at the primary election level in order to replace the incumbent with a nominee from that same party. It does not work if we wait until the Republican and Democrat candidates are elected. We must replace the Republican candidate, if he’s the incumbent member of Congress, with a different Republican candidate, the same goes for Democrat incumbents. The one rule of thumbs is DON’T RE-ELECT ANY CONGRESSMAN. Vote ALL the bums out.
The vote is the only tool Americans have to influence their government and the incumbents know that. They try to keep Americans devided by emphasizing and exagerating the philisophical differences between the two parties. They know that if the Dem and Rep voters ever got together and voted as a single minded block they could do anything they put their minds to at the ballot box.
Let’s all agree that we need to have a new, fresh, and eager Senate and House. That is the common ground we agree on. Then vote your party for new members. You don’t have to compromise or change your views at all. Just don’t re-elect any members of Congress or Senate.
Once in office, pummel the new member with e-mails telling him what you expect from him during his term. Weekly, monthly, or even irregularly your ideas and opinions need to be IN HIS FACE. Or we’ll just vote him out next election.
AMERICANS UNITE AND TAKE OUR NATION BACK AGAIN!!
