"It really is difficult to imagine how people who have entirely given up managing their own affairs could make a wise choice of those who are to do that for them. One should never expect a liberal, energetic, and wise government to originate in the votes of a people of servants." --French political thinker and historian Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859)
How appropriate to today's issues we see in congress. The people are giving congress more and more power out of sheer hatred of President G W Bush and in turn have lost so much more than he ever had taken from them. They have given this congress the idea that it can do whatever it wants regardless of how many protests or polls we give them to signal our dissatisfaction with their choices. Yet they continue to run ahead with their agenda despite our protests.
All members of the senate and congress need to be removed when they come up for re-election. Governors and state assemblymen as well as state senators need to be removed as well.
It is time for a fresh slate of representatives who will represent us as we want.
