Political Shame -- Discussion Welcomed

Im reading an artical on the new immigration bill that allows 1.2 billion for the construction of a fence. Although i disagree with this concept, i found this snipet out of the article most disturbing:


"While Bush had proposed a temporary worker program, it did not garner enough support in Congress for passage. The idea has been dropped by Washington, at least until after the November congressional elections."


Every member in congress who is part of this so called drop of the a real effective plan to help both america and mexico need to be voted out and replaced. This type of political cowardness due to comming elections cannot be tolerated by the voting populous. We didnt vote those men into office so that they could get re-elected. We voted them in to do the job of making America a better place, and if elections are so important that congress is not willing to resolve issues that Americans want resolved, then how can we continue to epect them to do what they were elected to do? Therefore these men need to be taught a lesson. At this point in our political history we can no longer care about parties and whos a democrat and whos a republican or party platforms. If every incumbent that failed to resolve issues because their care is on re-election was to be voted out, then all the new members of congress would understand the power of the people. Therefore leading to the congressmen actually doing what they are suppose to do: Represent their voters. This does not require parties ladies and gentlemen. In order for a represenative to be elected he needs majority votes, those in the majority are his means of election and if those majority do not grab the reins on their represenatives then congress will not be anything more then the ineffecent machine it has become.


We the people need to take these party blinders off our eyes and meet one another and find majority concensious as to what is needed by our represenatives. I want to shake the hand of both parties plus other people who consider themselves different. I want us to be able to sit down as American citizens and better this country rather then fight over which party platform is better.


So i say we the people send a message to congress and vote out incumbents who are known for doing nothing beneficial. Vote in the best opponant of this incumbant no matter his party platform because as stated before, if the majority of incumbents lose then those who we vote in, no matter thier party, will care more about what their voters want rather then what their party want. Parties are not representations of American citizens, they are representations of those wealthy.


So lets wake up America, lets grab the reins on congress and show them that the power they have become comfortable with was ours to give them and ours to take.


Thank you,
