"Lets keep track of the Congressmen who sold us out and unelect them."

IMO this is the best tactic to take. I will never again vote with a "lesser of two evils" mindset. The US Constitution gives power to the people via Congress, not the Presidency. If we are ever going to turn this country around, it will have to be done through the election of our Representatives, not through the election of one man or woman to the Office of the President.

America’s Descent Into the Third World

* * * *

Theodore Roosevelt
"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."

"Roosevelt in the Kansas City Star", 149 May 7, 1918

Only problem is that if we get rid of the current batch of whores in Congress they'll soon be replaced by another bunch of sell-outs........many go in with the right mindset but's pretty apparent that once they're in Babylon, DC for any length of time they succumb to the various temptations.

My idea would be to try everything possible to stop domestic & foreign corporations as well as gov'ts. from being able to influence our reps with $, trips, presents, etc. The only way the American public can ever get true representation again is to do whatever it takes to remove these lobbysists from buying off those that we elected to represent us.
