We need to have a strong federal law that charges "Breach of Public Trust". If you are caught and convicted you go to a hard time prison and when you get there the warden gives you a shovel and walks you to the prison graveyard. You are ordered to dig a grave and you are told you are going to be there until you die and they put your sorry butt in that grave.
I am sick of these slimeballs and I want to see some punishment. Torricelli is going to retire and get to keep 6 million in campaign donations. Some punishment for a full blown puke.
Outrageous.
Senators no longer get to keep their unused campaign funds when they retire. They can donate them to other federal office seekers or donate them to their party.
Also, Torricelli as far as I have heard is not retiring. He is only dropping out of his reelection campaign. He can keep those funds and use them for a later election campaign.
Revelation 9
1The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss.
2When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss.
3And out of the smoke locusts came down upon the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth.
4They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
5They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man.
6During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.
