Senate Amnesty Bill goes for Vote – The Dream Act

Yesterday, I wrote about how the Spanish speaking news channels in Dallas had been talking about Amnesty to be granted by the end of the year. I had not seen any information regarding this in the English Speaking news, newspapers or on the Blog sites. I was curious about how they could be so sure there would be Amnesty by the end of the year. Well the Spanish, mostly illegal community, is more informed than US citizens. Tomorrow the Senate will vote the Dream Act. This legislation is appropriately named because it is not the American Dream but because it is the Mexican Dream.

The real problem with all of this is the total disconnect between our politicians and the American Citizens. All of these actions are an attempt to create a North American Union. Our politicians do not represent us, WE THE PEOPLE. This is our country. If our politicians will not represent us we must dispose of our politicians.

Perhaps it is time to change our entire political system. It was designed when WE THE PEOPLE were scattered across this great country without means of communication and transportation. In the Internet world there is no reason why every bill cannot be put to a public vote or some type of semiannual vote on the congress. Should the major portion of the population believe that Congress is not acting in the best interest of the country then the government could fall and new elections be required.

This would be democracy! If this is not possible we should at least eliminate this arcane system of electoral votes, districts, and parties. Let your politicians know that your thoughts about how they represent you. Remember a government is the face of the people. Does this government represent who you are?
