“Talkers such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham and many others played an indispensable role in making available the research by the Heritage Foundation and NumbersUSA and analysis from editorial pages such as this one to tens of millions of Americans in a very short period of time. “

That’s why Trent Lot and others who are FOR AMNESTY now want the “Fair Doctrine” resurrected to keep people confused and dumbed down.

actually, the REAL reason is that ALL the senators (with perhaps one or two exceptions) BELIEVE that they KNOW (better than WE "regular folks" who voted them in!) what is "best for everyone".

it's called THE ARROGANCE OF POWER!

time for a house (& SENATE) cleaning!!!

my recommendation is to take back our LIBERTY by amending the Constitution to:

1. allow senators ONE (6-year)term,

2. allow congressmen/women THREE (2-year) terms

3. cut the size of the "congressional staff" by not less than 50% & FREEZE the number permanently,

4. allow the VOTERS of each state/district to set congressional salaries,for their OWN representatives,

5. forbid "corporate", "NGO", foundation or "union" $$$$$ from ALL federal races (making ACCEPTANCE of or OFFERING such UNlawful donations to ANY federal candidate a felony),

6. allow ONLY individuals to make contributions to ANY candidate from the citizens of his/her district (HoR) or state (senate)

AND

7. ELECT the justices to ALL of the federal courts to ONE six-year term.

this "humble recommendation" may NOT be THE answer, but it's at least a PORTION of THE answer!
