Excellent!
So we all have good ideas — how do we get people to pay attention? How do the ideas get implemented? Present them to our conservative reps and then have them draft policy? I mean, I am so SICK of THEM telling US what’s what. It’s not up to them.
I don't know if asking our reps to draft a policy limiting their power, arrogance and reelection will be workable.
I hate to say that the only way is more awakening to the impending disaster. If it happens, in one form or another, enough anger will cause the bums to be thrown out. A new tradition for pre-election "indoctrination" town halls in every little district, to lay out a platform for the new critter if he/she wants to defeat the incumbent.
Any deviation in voting in the Congress, OUT in six weeks and another sent in. Salary will be paid back and no pension for that duration. Remember, the purse is OURS to control.
We may be split on certain votes or, an ape is flogging Congress to vote on a bill in two days. No way, there will be a vote unless it's a real, NOT manufactured, national emergency. The reps HAVE to come back to their districts, conduct town halls and consult with us, THEIR BOSSES!
This is what Representative Democracy is all about. After all, it's still a free country and if they like to work for us and do what we want, fine, otherwise it's a two-way street.
You can apply the same principles n the local levels on taxation, communist schooling, corruption, etc. However, it needs more people to weigh in before it's too late.
