Poll: Besides electing someone else, what's the best way to get the attention of Congresscritters? A Daily Poll.
A loud explosion nearby might do it.
I have several ideas.
I just don’t need any visits from some federal agents.
So I’ll keep them to myself.
A very large mob carrying torches and pitchforks would work well. After all, it is OUR government. Not theirs.
i voted other. setting their shoes on fire while still on their feet is rude and illegal but it would get attention. i do not advocate this course of action.
Ask them the pointed question in public, preferably at one of their town meetings or other gatherings where they are pontificating and glad-handing. See the youtube of John Cornyn addressing one of the Tea Parties on July 4. The first answer they give will be BS, keep asking, take turns, until they tell you the truth.
as george carlin said “you can’t fight city hall but you can damn sure blow it up” right?
Large wads of untraceable cash.
It’s interesting you say this. I don’t think I’m the only one who feels, er, “helpless” when these guys keep doing things that are destroying things. Sorry to say, but my tagline still holds.
That is a loaded question designed to get people into trouble.
They are just fishing for how angry the pee-ons are getting.
We are getting very mad, but we aren’t stupid. hehehe
Cut their salaries to what it’s worth: $22,000 a year w/no seniority perks. Then make them pay for their own travel, housing and meals-—you’d turn DC to a ghost town before the end of the day.
Unless America wakes up, and I doubt that it will, turning our country around will not be done with a bloodless ballot.
Sorry, but “they” is me and I’m not fishing for anything. Read the post above.
Build guillotines on the Mall.
Introduce a Bill in Congress to legalize Dueling.
Force Congress to pay into and use EVERY social program they pass... ie, Social Security, National Health Care, Medicare.
Reduce salaries, pensions, perks and benefits to a level equal to the average private citizen in their district...
Congress would have to vote for the salary decrease. I wouldn’t want to take those odds at all.
Bad gas.
Have security detain them for failing to wear their identifying Congressional pin.
Contribute to their opponent.
Maybe.
But people have been “visited” for being too frank.
None of the above in your poll have worked, have they?
Maybe you can ask the CONgress liars what would work.
They are the ones not listening.
None of the above in your poll have worked, have they?
That’s sort of why I’m asking. Nothing seems to be working.
