Our Elected Representatives are (snakes) really bad people

Recently outraged citizens shut down the phone lines in the house and senate. Joe Citizen wanted their representatives know what the representatives should have already known. Generally, WE THE PEOPLE, do not want a discussion on immigration policy until the current legislation is enforced and the Reagan’s promises are kept. Employers who hire illegal immigrants should go to jail and their businesses sequestered and sold at auction. The politicians decided that the “Great Compromise” would be political suicide and voted down the proposal.

This should have been the end of the discussion however Corporate America is calling in the markers. Politicians with the “sold” sign stamped on their forehead are attempting to get the legislation passed, attaching it to other bills. These insidious snakes need a serious lesson. It is time that we pick up the phones again and set our lines to automatic redial to call every office in the senate, the house and the whitehouse. Notice I am using small letters to describe these institutions.

Our government’s actions are outside of their mandate. They are not doing what they were elected to do, that is, represent WE THE PEOPLE. They do not deserve our respect instead their actions are deplorable.

I am a populous. I believe that WE THE PEOPLE are the foundation of this nation and the only reason the government exists. If our politicians are not populists then they must be eliminated from our political process. This is not a philosophical difference of opinion. It is the basis of our constitution.

No doubt the democratic system is corrupted by lobby groups and their campaign donations in return for political favors.

Lexcen Unfortunately, I agree. As the country grows this problem will only increase as we lose the ability to influence those we elect. Perhaps this is the decadence that has ended the great empires.
