Ok everyone, the STICK IT TO THE COMMON FOLKS BAIL OUT package has passed. Shall we all get on bended knee and praise those who SHAFTED us in the first place for supposedly bailing us out of financial woes today?

I say noooo! the WOLVES in SHEEPSKIN in the United States Congress and Administration may all go straight to HELL for all I care!

The story better not end here. There needs to be a very in-depth investigation into the corruption that brought this about. I want to see all the corrupt Congressional heads rolling from the fallout of their transgressions.

We need real reform… in the form of effective term limits. Allowing re-election is inherently wrong and breeds corruption and self-service.

My plan for elective office
•House seats should run for ONE 4-year term.
•Senate seats would run for ONE 6-year term.
•President/Vice President… ONE 6-year term.
•Supreme Court Justices would still be nominated by the President, and confirmed by Congress, but would be for ONE 8-year term.

Politicians would never serve back-to-back terms in the same capacity. They could run for another office, or run again after sitting out an election cycle… but never run for RE-election.

If a politician is serious about serving his country, and if one is good enough this system should serve America well. A little time off in between working in the private sector might do them, and all of us some good.

I want names. I want names of those who put these “sweeteners” on this very, very important piece of legislation. To attach any kind of pork onto this bill is criminal! We need the names of the individuals that benefited and/or suggested these extras. We will deal with them at the polls!

To all radio/tv hosts out there reading this blog…please give us the facts so that we can vote the slugs out!

VOTER REVOLUTION…HERE AND NOW!
