I received the following e-mail, and believe it has merit.  I am passing it on for your consideration ... for our country, and the memory of our Founding Fathers!



At least read this.  Form your own opinion, even if you disagree with this issue, but at least read it.   You and I owe that to our country



All I ask is that you consider the suggestion here.



The entire Congress of the United States is corrupt.  And I mean both Houses and I mean both major parties.



I realize that a few Members of each House are trustworthy, but, as a group they are absolutely the most corrupt bunch to ever disgrace our Nation.



In November of 2010 the entire House of Representatives will stand for re-election;
all 435 of them.  One third of the Senate, a total of 33 of them, will also stand for re-election.  Vote every incumbent out.



And I mean every one of them.  No matter their Party affiliation.

Let's start all over in the House of Representatives with 435 people who have absolutely no experience in running that body, with no political favors owed to anyone but their own constituents.  Let's make them understand that they work for us.
They are answerable to us and they simply have to run that body with some common sense.



Two years later, in 2012, vote the next third of the incumbents in the Senate out.  



We can do the same thing in 2014 and, by that time we will have put all new people in that body as well.



We, the People, have got to take this Country back and we HAVE to do it peacefully.



That's what the Framers of our Constitution envisioned.



I am also suggesting term limits on the NEW BUNCH -- 4 YEARS FOR REPRESENTATIVES   two terms that’s all.
AND 12 YEARS  [2 terms]   FOR SENATORS.
NO EXCEPTIONS.  THE LONGER THEY STAY IN OFFICE THE MORE POWER THEY GET AND THEY LOVE IT AND WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET RE-ELECTED.



WE HAVE TERM LIMITED THE PRESIDENT –NOW LET'S TERM LIMIT THE LEGISLATORS.



And we do away with their Special Retirement system and their health program (they should have same health programs everyone else in America does).  When they are through serving their country they go back to being private citizens.  They should view their service as a privilege; after all it was designed to be a part time job to represent the voice of the people, NOT the special interest groups and those who can do favors for them.



If they don't like this proposal then don't run for office…



Please, if you love this Country, send this (as I have done) to absolutely everyone whose email address appears in your address book.



This thing can permeate this Country in no time.  Let's make it happen.



VOTE THE POWER ABUSERS OUT........LET'S TAKE  AMERICA  BACK !!!!!!!!!



IF YOU LIKE THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING IN OUR COUNTRY, THEN DO NOTHING.........

Oh I would love to see term limits. But why should we even need them? Let's wake up the sheople and just vote their a$$e$ out of office. That would speak volumes as compared to term limits. We can't blame them for being in office. The blame fall solely on WE THE VOTORS for voting them in over and over and over again. IMHO

This is pointless.  The American democracy is rigged.  The two parties make it very difficult to get a 3rd party candidate on the ballot.  It doesn't matter if you vote every Republican out and replace them with Democrats, or every Democrat and replace them with Republicans, they are virtually one in the same.  Exhibit A - Angelo Santabarbara.  Exhibit B - Judy Dagastino Exhibit C - Holly Vellano.  Shall I continue?  

The Tea Party movement is the expression of people who understand that in this current system, we really do not have a choice.  It's like choosing between Pepsi and Mountain Dew. Though they look as if they are two distinct and different sodas, whatever one you choose, they are both made by Pepsi Co. and they get the money.
