I have written on the need to purge Congress by voting out all incumbents, and, more recently, about the Article Five Convention and Congress’ ignoring of their duty to call for a convention. It is our duty as Americans to vote out the incumbents and vote in a new congress. We are the only ones who can do that.
These two tools, the vote of the People, and a convention for states to propose ammendments, are all we, the People have to influence government. It is obvious that Congress will continue to ignore their duty no matter by how many states request an Article Five Convention as they have for over 200 years. So, it becomes even more imperative to use our vote in the most drastic method we can to cause the drastic change needed. It was accomplished in 1938 resulting in a 60% turnover in members of Congress. We can do even better with the current attitude of the American voters. We must do better or lose our rights and our nation.
Voting out the incumbent congress members does not require any voter to change their party or belief, it does not require any new process. It only requires us to not re-elect any current member of Congress every two years for the next six years. Once Congress is purged of those who have made a life out of fleecing America, the new members will be more likely to actually call for a convention when the states ask for one. This will allow the states and their voters to undo a lot of what has been done by Congress. This will, again, bring the differences between the various parties into play, but with a congress that is receptive and new to the world of politics, in other words, still relatively uncorrupted.
Tell everyone you know to vote them ALL out. Make it clear it is crucial to our nation to get a new breed of representitive who is ready to do our business in Washington. These are the items all Americans have in common, disgust with government, love for America, and the ability to vote in new members to replace the lifers.
Voters, REVOLT ! ! Vote ALL the bums out ! ! It's the only way we have.
