A PICNIC?

What I think we have here is a PICNIC. A PICNIC complete with Kool-Aid Drinking representation who refuse to listen to the electorate. We currently are having a Problem In Congress Not In Country - and the American people realize it! A Rasmussen poll released this morning indicates that only 25% of Americans would keep their current Senator or Congressman, and 57% would like to scrap the whole bunch and start over. That was exactly what the framers of the constitution thought would happen about every other election cycle. Serving as a member of Congress was, at the time, truly public service. Members of Congress were unpaid for their service, receiving only a $6.00 per day stipend during the time the Congress was in Session. This stipend was designed to cover the cost of their travel and living expenses while the legislature was in session. It was the standard then that members of Congress were drawn to the responsibility largely by the desire to impact public policy. Washington was not a seat of power and influence until the New Deal and that sphere of influence has continued to expand right up through the late 1960s and Johnson’s Great Society legislation
The time is now to begin the process of finding viable candidates for the next election cycle. No incumbent – Republican or Democrat should stay in office. Stop the PICNIC.
