In the 2010 elections you have an opportunity to change the history of America. A total of 36 Senate seats are up for grabs. Some of the incumbents are well meaning, but all of them need to go. The more incumbents voted out in 2010, the stronger the message that the People have had enough.
See this page for info about the 2010 Senate election:
In addition all 435 Congressional members are up for election. Vote Them OUT.
Success - In the Nov. 3, 2009 elections t
wo Congressional incumbents and many local and state incumbents were replaced. This is a small step in the right direction.

Why is Joe Lieberman
still a Committee Chairman?

What has Congress done for you?
They are so wrapped up in power for power's sake that they have forgotten all about the people. Getting elected and holding office are the only driving forces behind most politicians. They promise better education. Where is it? They promise tax reform. Where is it? They promise a strong economy. Where is it?  They promise help with the high cost of health care and prescription drugs. Where is it? They promise election reform. Where is it? They promise to end corruption. Where is it? They promise peace. Where is it? Washington is full of empty promises. Instead of promoting Democracy, they promote Corporate Greed in the form of Blind Capitalism.
Where is Universal Health Care? Where is the Public Option?
Just take a look at the mess they are making about Health Care. Rather than support a Medicare Bill for everyone, they are supporting the out-of-control Health Industry.

The Democrats lack the courage to do anything and the Republicans are doing everything they can to sabotage the Obama Government.  And the reason is pure politics. These people ONLY care about getting reelected. 

A NEW START?

America has made an historical move and elected its first black president. Voters also sent a handful of legislators packing in the November, 2008 election. This is a good start in the right direction, but there is so much more that needs to be done.

President Obama has made a number of campaign promises and it's up to the people to see that he keeps them. He is asking for public input - This is your chance to see that real Change takes place. Make your views known at:

REPUBLICRATS.

This is not a Democrat or Republican problem.
Members of the House and the Senate have ALL lost sight  of the forest
while they concentrate on the trees of greed, power, and influence.

Send your Congressional member a message - Ask them why you should vote for them? They can't answer without using DoubleSpeak.

While the House and Senate fiddle in Washington, The Department of Justice, and Homeland Security have been busy sowing seeds of dissension, fear, and hatred. Under the guise of new, rushed through laws following September 11, innocent citizens are being stalked, persecuted, and prosecuted. In Bush's eyes anyone who did not agree with him was a terrorist. "The Terrorists" hate us because the U.S. has been terrorizing them for decades. We have entered the Terrorism/Industrial Complex. Rights are disappearing. The economy is in chaos. Millions are in prisons or jails. The "Bush" Laws need to be changed or eliminated. Contact your Representative or Senator and tell them you want, you demand the return of your Rights.

Corporate profits are raising as the levels of corruption and greed have risen to previously unknown heights. While CEOs build mansions, stockholders are being wiped out. Retirement accounts have gone drastically downward. Hard working citizens are being fired. Millions have no health care. The economy is in shambles.

Washington refuses to end the disastrous Iraq War. In fact, Washington is greatly expanding the War in Afghanistan. Billions of dollars that could be used to fund Universal Healthcare are being thrown down a rat hole. Washington refuses to support the Global Warming Treaty. Washington refuses to support the treaty to ban the use of Land Mines. Washington refuses to stop being the largest arms merchant in the world. Washington wants to place nuclear arms in space, further endangering the world. Washington's view of a global economy is widening the gap between the haves and the have nots. Washington voted almost unanimously to support the December 2008 invasion of Palestine and the slaughter of innocent women and children by the Israeli Army. Washington is trying to kill the UN Human Rights Commission's Goldstone Report because it tells the truth about Israel's war crimes. The zealots in Washington have lost touch with reality. They don't give a damn about you or your needs.

The Democrats took control of the house in 2006 and have done nothing to end the wars. They voted to spend additional billions with no withdrawal plans. They also voted to give Telecommunication companies immunity from prosecution for their illegal wiretapping.

Now, they have allowed the World Financial Markets to melt down. Markets have seen their largest decline since the Depression. Congressional and Senate Committee after Committee has failed to regulate the markets and now they have bailed out Wall Street to the tune of more than a trillion...And nothing in their bills helps Main Street.

Every Committee Chairman/woman needs to be replaced. Please Vote Out more Incumbents in the next election.
Let President Obama know that you want real CHANGE.

There IS something else you CAN do. 
We need to Clean the Entire House,
but first, we need to Arrest and Put on Trial Bush AND Cheney.
They, along with the House, and the Senate have all sold out to a group from the Christian Conservative Right. They are totally beholding to Washington Lobbyists. A handful of people are attempting to control everything. Don't let them. For once make your vote count and send the Republicrats packing.

Send your Congressman or Senator a message
that you want promises kept.
You want world peace.
You want a strong economy based on honesty and need.
You want people in Washington
who work for the people.
If you can find a Progressive or Independent candidate in your area, investigate them and possibly support them in 2010. 
I've long ago written off the Republican Party as the Party of NO. If you can find progressive Democrat candidates, consider supporting them.
9/20/09 - I've recently sent emails to MoveOn.org, ProgressiveCongress.org, and The Congressional Progressive Caucus asking them, "Are there any Democrat incumbents who you believe should be reelected in 2010, and, if so, why?" None of them have responded!

Vote Out All Incumbents

An essay by Thomas Daly

It has become evident that out Life, our Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness have been jeopardized beyond endurance by the willful acts of a political elite which has betrayed our Common Welfare, the Promise of the Constitution, and the Meaning of America.

Although ever posing as the country's – and the people's – central but divergent legislative forum, Congress and the Senate have long been deceptively converted into a distant, tightly guarded conclave, wholly dedicated to its own perpetual incumbency as a despotic national directorate; a ruling aristocracy, embracing none but indoctrinated and pre-indentured Republicans and Democrats.

Central to their power is the unrestrained capacity to surreptitiously bleed-off, and confiscate an ever larger measure of productive people's earnings and thus abridge their right to acquire property and the validly of unencumbered private ownership.

Today it is the flagrant encroachment upon the people's constituted rights that reveals a design to reduce the populace into divided, non-cohesive clusters of politically muzzled factions, stripped of common will.

The People's given right to freely choose their representatives has been artfully debased. Vast streams of clouded money - hundreds of millions annually – soiled by pandering and graft determine who will run and who will not, who is to be supported and who is not. Party labels notwithstanding, money is then laundered into the campaigns of those deemed to have honed the slickest tongues with which to bedazzle an already stupefied electorate. Those perceived to pose a threat to the common goals and welfare of Congress as a two-faced ruling dynasty need not apply.

Because the average citizen is no longer able to buy into the high stakes game, We, the People, have become the fodder on which politicians feed.

Primary elections have come to be a mocking ruse which limits ballot entry to highly-financed, consummate political practitioners, all party loyalists. Candidates for Congress and the Senate with few exceptions, are predisposed by money-raking party overlords and their wide ranging cohorts. Voter opinion is deemed disruptive, a menace to the system, and has effectively been rendered impotent. The electorate, as such, has been goaded into political captivity where it is still allowed to vote in general elections – but only as to the cut and color of the uniforms the guards will wear.

At this point both houses of Congress, conceived to be the lungs by which freedom breathes, are deadly cancers in the weakened body of democracy.

America's industrial economy, backbone of all the people's being, is critically injured, sick and bleeding; it needs transfusions and intensive care, not placebos and a sedative. Once freed from bureaucratic lording and politically licensed plunder, the economy will be able to recuperate and provide a decent, justly earned living for all Americans able and willing to participate, as well as adequately cater to deserving social needs.

America's recovery will not originate in Moscow, Baghdad, Kabul, Tel Aviv, Rio, Munich, Tokyo, Madrid, or Mexico City; it must be mounted in the silenced halls of industry, the shuttered factories, throughout the towns and cities of America.

For most all incumbents of either party to run for reelection amidst the present economic turmoil, grinding unemployment, budgets based on borrowed funds, smoldering civil unrest, and lack of public confidence in Congress, shows a degree of insolence that is incompatible with conscientious, innovative, and beneficial governance. Incumbents pointing at performance, claiming character and courage, honesty, vision, expertise and leadership, is, at best, perplexing, if not a rankling recitation of patent falsehoods.

A universal lack of purpose, insight and awareness can no longer be obscured, tolerated or ignored. Such glaring absence of fundamental human values has made for farcical theatrics to assume the role of just and prudent leadership. Their misconduct, their skewed morals – not the people's – have broken families and torn the ethics, the moral fiber of society.   

Politicians of either stripe with sights on Congress or the Senate, now in search of votes, all are running far behind the times. Millions of workers, still gainfully employed, know how close they have been led to the threshold of uncertainty beyond which lie deprivation, loss of property and income, shattered dreams and poverty. Constituents in general, young and old alike, are bitterly aware how their lives have been distorted, that they have been robbed and lied to, that instead of Masters, they have come to be the underlings, the bullied servants of those they elected and hired to guard their common welfare and handle the affairs of state. No longer is the lesser of two evils good enough.   

This is not a time of women or men, of Republicans or Democrats, of liberals, conservatives, or moderates; not a time of the rich, the poor, or the middle class. It is the time of All the People, from those who live in boundless comfort to those who sleep and scrabble for existence on the streets.  If American Democracy is to survive, the People, using their power of choice and the vote, must revoke the license of those in and about government who mishandle the affairs of of these United States and becloud the future of its people; of those who hope to lead the people into an ever darker tunnel of economic vagary in which to stumble but not walk; of those who endorse the notion that distant glimmers of a thousand points of light presage the brilliance of renewed prosperity and social comfort; of those who persecute the people under the guise of being public servants; and, of those associate members of society who, in their avid quest for parasitic living, build paperwork engendering careers aimed at ever tapping deeper into the wealth created by the productive sectors of the populace.
