Elected Officials - Get on Topic

Well, I guess I should not be surprised. The newly elected politicians, between extravagant lunches, dinners and outings all paid for by corporate America’s lobbyists, are wasting time with this and that hearing about things past. This is not what we elected you to do. Get serious. We have serious problems. We need serious people not self-centered, stuck up, corrupt jerks thinking about the next elections and getting your airtime. Do your job and you will be re-elected. Do not and WE THE PEOPLE will take action. You do not have two years. Every day is important and must be utilized to do the bidding of your constituents.

You probably think you are so cool, pandering to small interest groups. Impeach this, hold a hearing on that, raising your voice to publicly express your disappointment or disagreement with this or that person.

I can hear you back in your office after the news bite, “I sounded so good, I hope Joe Blow got the message. I am out for blood. I will be avenged!”

Who cares? Get over yourself. We have $47 trillion in public debt. A terrorist can kill a million people simply by tainting some spinach. Calling our borders a sieve would be a compliment. People are dying because they cannot get appropriate healthcare. Families are being destroyed because one or both parents have to work all the time and can no longer do the most important job, raising the kids.

Remember the things that are important.

Secure our borders. Finance the fence and pass legislation to secure the remaining unprotected border. When you talk of being strong on national security while an elephant can walk across the border with a Mariaci band playing and television cameras filming without being confronted by border patrol, you look a bit stupid.

Pass legislation making it a felony to hire or harbor illegal aliens, including religious institutions. You say, “These are people they must be treated with respect. We must be compassionate.” Ok, treat them with respect, give them cable in their prison cell. Perhaps our educational system has really deteriorated. When so many “Important People” do not understand that breaking the law is the precursor to being illegal. Perhaps our compassion would be better employed on the millions of US citizens who can no longer get the health care they need even though they have worked and contributed to this great nation all of their lives.


Pass minimum wage laws raising the minimum wage to $8.35 with automatic increases based on real inflation, not CPI. If you cannot see the value of “a fair days work for a fair days pay” then you should not be representing the hardworking citizens of the United States. Perhaps we should have a referendum concerning congressional pay and perks.



Pass legislation requiring all shipments to be inspected by humans with the most advanced technology available. The costs must be paid by the shipper, not the taxpayer. Again, its is all about Hypocrisy and the association of true costs of production. We cannot take liquids on an airplane or use a metal butter knife but we can ship a container with radioactive material and blow-up, lets say, Washington DC. It is idiotic to talk about making the US safer engaging in worldwide politics when we leave our home front wide open. Before thinking about IRAN or N. KOREA, let’s control our borders. I will bet that just about every politician has an alarm system on his home. Why are the rest of us less important?



Pass legislation eliminating all PORK spending no amendments off topic. WE THE PEOPLE are tired of Washington throwing our money away so that they can get personal gain. WE THE PEOPLE are feeling poor, we are working two sometimes three jobs just to make it to the end of the month. We do not care who proposes PORK spending. Stop it completely. No off-topic amendments should ever be allowed on legislation. Remember if our husband or wife spends more than what we have or buys some frivolous item when we are having a hard time paying our bills, we divorce them. In this case, them is not an individual, it is the entire existing political class.

Make Political Collusion a felony with a minimum mandatory sentence of 25 years. I have heard so many times that political collusion is a victimless crime. Bullhonkey! Everyone pays taxes, rich and poor. We pay taxes before we buy food for our kids. Your victimless crimes continue to take food out of the mouth of children. Your victimless crimes make it so that a young student cannot attend the college of choice. Your victimless crimes kill the sick and elderly because they have to pay for your collusion instead of buying medicines. This is manslaughter and should be treated as such.

Define what a citizen is. Legal entities are not citizens. Citizens are flesh and blood. I know this would break your heart, individuals will not give you kick-backs to be able to maintain their job, but this must be defined. Perhaps again we need a referendum. If you cannot see the obvious perhaps we need to substitute congress with popular vote.

We want our Privacy back. Do something useful and create privacy laws making it a felony for companies or anybody else to keep our data, exposing us to fraud and theft. Do the things above and this problem will most likely take care of itself.
