Would you agree that nobody tries to push cars or pickup trucks that have trailer hitches sticking out of the rear bumper?

Three vehicles traveling side by side on the LBJ freeway (I-635) in the morning commute that slowly coasted to a stop would get a lot of attention, especially if there was 30 other like minded people coordinating similar actions on I-20, I-30 and I-45. Then tomorrow 30 other people do the same and the day after 30 more do it.

Imagine this happening in 50 cities across America. What this Bill is talking about is giving more money to Wall Street than we spent on the Iraq war last year!

Having lived in the Dallas area for 20+ years before wising up and moving out, I sincerely doubt that anyone would notice - they'd just drive around them!

Sarcastic response aside, the point remains that Washington is selectively deaf and will pay no attention to this. If you want to get their attention, you have to take the protest TO Washington in a way that directly affects them!! And, even that doesn't guarantee results because they'll see it only as a minor inconvenience for the Wash., DC police to handle.

When my dad was still alive, he used to advocate gathering about 20,000 people and storming the halls of Congress. Each person would bring their own Louisville Slugger and would, in turn, throw a Congresscritter to the deck, stick their knee in their neck and give them a dollar's worth of nickel knots on the head with the Louisville Slugger to get their attention. After that, they would explain to the Congresscritter why they were unhappy with their performance in Washington.

The bottom line is this: If you vote for a single incumbent in November, you're part of the problem, NOT part of the solution. WE are basically to blame for the status of our government because WE have gotten fat and lazy and allowed our political class to do as they please!! WE now have to take action to fix our government and that means WE have to start voting out incumbents (EVERY SINGLE ONE!!) and replace them with people who understand how the Founding Fathers intended the government to work and will work to restore those values. Until WE do this, WE will continue to be the definition of insanity!!
