I’m coming around to the idea that the bulk of the American people are basically stupid, stupid, stupid! Why?

How else can we explain how Congress, which has a 9% approval rating, gets reelected about 95% of the time? Do we ever “throw the bums out”?

Listen to these stats:Senate: As of 2008, of 100 Senators, 39 (39%) reelected for 18 yrs or more, 4 over 40 years!

House: As of 2008, of 435 members, 143 (33%) reelected for 14 yrs or more, 5 over 36 years!

And the longer these guys are in office, the more of them will run unopposed in future elections, since nobody will bother to challenge them. Unopposed races have doubled in the last 20 years, from 40 to 80 seats.

And who is responsible for this sad state of affairs? YOU!!! Not your dumb neighbor. Not the media. Not the crooked political system. Just YOU, the typical stupid American! The guy who complains how those crooked politicians are ripping off the country and sending us all down the tubes, and then reelects them!

YOU don’t seem to realize that YOU, and only YOU, have the power to clean up the whole system by simply NEVER REELECTing any Congressman or Senator. The good guys, the bad guys, all of them! NEVER REELECT them!

The beauty of this NEVER REELECT policy is that nobody can stop you from voting the bums out! They can stop you from voting for term limits, but they can’t stop you from imposing term limits by a NEVER REELECT policy.

I hope this short video will get you up off your dumb butt to prove that you aren’t one of those stupid Americans.

Always vote, but NEVER REELECT! If we do this for 2 or 3 elections in a row, I promise you, we will suddenly see a truly new and effective Congress.

Now GO DO IT!

Make certain you vote on Nov 4, BUT...DON’T REELECT ANYONE in Congress!

Congress is dominated by frauds who only want a cushy job with no boss or accountability. At the heart of this problem, is the growth of a class of career politicians, whose only purpose is to be reelected forever, not to govern well.

We, the voters, have it within our power to easily destroy these career politicians, and to never let them rise again. All we have to do is ALWAYS VOTE, BUT REELECT NOBODY!

Wow! That’s a pretty drastic idea! Soon we would wind up with only ‘inexperienced’ freshmen in our Congress. They’d all be from everyday business and industry, which has made us the most successful economy on earth. Would such a Congress be any good?

I bet it would be a helluva lot better, and more effective, than the current one.

REEELECT NOBODY? Try it, you’ll like it. I promise!

MY EXTREMIST SUGGESTION TO CHANGE CONGRESS

There was a time when I was generally and proudly optimistic about the prospects for our country.

But the growth of an irresponsible, liberally biased media, the incompetent ever-growing leviathan of government, and the essentially permanent self-serving Congress, has turned me into a desperate ‘extremist’, calling for all voters to ‘Never Reelect’ anyone in Congress, lest we continue our descent into a ‘Dictatorship of the Congress’.

It makes little difference who wins the Presidency. It is in Congress where the problems lie!

I can think of no rational alternative to ‘Never Reelect’ any congressperson, since Congress has a lock on preventing Term Limits on itself.

A congressional seat is now so attractive, and essentially permanent, that they will fight tooth and nail to get reelected forever, eventually retiring as mult-millionaires! Reelection rates have reached 98%.

As a result, voter participation is down to 45%. Most people who want to vote against incumbents drop out, because of the high reelection rate, which then increases the percentage of voters who vote for incumbents, thereby guaranteeing reelections.

In the meantime, major national issues such as unbalanced budgets vs multi-trillion dollar debt, forbidden energy production while gasoline approaches $5/gal, plunging educational scores, etc, continue to sit on the backburners of an irresponsible Congress.

But they won’t act on these and other issues because the special interests, who fund their reelection campaigns, would be upset. On the other hand, the American people, who are demoralized by the resulting economic slowdown, vicious partisanship, and loss of national self-esteem, are confused, unorganized, and don’t know what to do.

THE ANSWER: The American people need to electorally slaughter the Congress (on both sides of the aisle) with a one-time 100% turnover to show Congress that the people are the boss!

What we need is a popular uprising, such as a ‘Do Not Reelect Any Congressman’ campaign, which will inflict wholesale damage on the incumbency in Congress, to show them that the American people are still in charge, NOT the special interests.

Any idiot can see that we, the voters, are our own worst enemy, when we deliberately keep reelecting incumbents, over and over again, when it is these very incumbents who are letting our country go down the tubes! It is not just that “my guy is OK, but not your guy”! They are ALL bums!

Congress should be a brief civic duty, NOT a career!

So let’s throw them all out! At least once, in 2008, and maybe again in 2010, 2012, and 2014. That’ll learn ‘em!
Maybe the freshmen who replace them will let us have Term Limits!

A REVOLUTION TO TAKE BACK THE US CONGRESS
             by Nelson Lee Walker of tenurecorrupts.com

I am proposing that we create a popular, bloodless, political revolution in our country.

I believe that it is very necessary, very possible, and very doable.

The object is the destruction of the professional political class which currently dominates and corrupts the US Congress.

I am convinced, as are many, many voters, that the bulk of our country’s political problems arises out of this ‘permanent’ Congressional political class, and their devotion to party power and to the financial special interests keeping them in power.

There is a simple way that voters can create this revolution: That way is to...NEVER REELECT any Congressional incumbent, anytime, in the House or the Senate, good guys or bad, in either party. Just NEVER REELECT!

It can be done easily and at no cost. All it takes is a national email campaign by all voters, to all their friends, and their friends, and their friends, to send out this NEVER REELECT message, frequently, thru out 2008, 2010, and 2012, and maybe longer...
Just NEVER REELECT!

If we succeed in doing this for two or three election cycles, we would sharply reduce the rate of successful reelections from over 98% in the House. Similarly in the Senate. This leaves room for and encourages ‘citizen’ legislators. It would break the back of the special interests and allow ‘citizen’ legislators, using the Internet, without the help of special interests, to run for and win office.

The resulting larger contingent of freshman Congresspeople would enable us to call for term limits of  “6 Years and Out”, and for publicly funded federal elections. Both of these changes would keep the professional politicians and their financial backers on the sidelines for a long, long time.

Let’s do it!
