Campaign to Vote out the Incumbents, the why……

So there I was, like everyone else I know, getting tired of listening to the people who supposedly represent us. I mean all the way from supervisor of elections to the big Mack Daddy living in the big white house up in DC. I found myself getting very frustrated with the people whom I voted for as well as the ones I did not vote for. Like many, I feel the country is lost. Lost in a way that it seems the satellite is down and the ones with the GPS gadgets forgot how to figure out where they are let alone figure out which way is East or West. They have relied on the gadgetry of our world to perpetrate a hoax on us, a terrible hoax. The hoax is that they care one iota about us, the people. I am happy that the mechanisms of fraud are crumbling and people are starting to see our representatives for what they are, crooked. Now I know that I can not stereo type them all, as much as I would like to. There are some that are worthy, we sure do not hear about them as much though and my plan requires them to sacrifice as well.

My idea is this, vote out every single incumbent for the next 16 years. 16 years you ask, yes sixteen years. This plan will require patience, another thing that our instant gratification world has stripped us of, here is a blog I wrote about our lack of patience http://mroatmealsoratories.blogspot.com/2009/03/i-was-breakfast-over-weekend-and-had.html. So, if we only vote out the incumbents for one election cycle there will be those that are left behind, the ones who “know how it is done”. We have to eradicate all of those folks to because the current blend of “how it’s done” is not working, at least not for me. This thought process of mine came to me and I came around to this plan after Independence day this year. That is when I read the Declaration of Independence again, we all think we know that first sentence but it actually starts like this. When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Dissolve the political bands, those are the words that intrigued me. Then, right after that famous sentence about self-evident truths comes this one. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Consent of the governed, they do not and will not have my consent for their current actions. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it. I do not by any means think that we need to abolish the form of Government that has made our great country the greatest one of all, ever. I do however think it is time to alter it a bit, only in a small way by altering the makeup of the folks who are serving in it. We have that right, we have that obligation!

As I kept reading I read, But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Despotism, that was written and signed well over 200 years ago and I can think of no better word than despotism to describe our government, city, state and federal. We then go into what the King of Britain was denying them. There are many appropriate words but some stand out. He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. A bureaucracy growing out of control, eating out the substance of the people, hummm, sound familiar? Another one is For imposing taxes on us without our consent. Take a look at your pay stub and you can see immediately that we are getting our asses taxed off and I do not EVER remember consenting to that. Our entrenched representatives have though, for us – yeah right!

You know after reading the Declaration of Independence it was clear, those boys were pretty sharp. It seemed to me all about our ability to change our government to suite our needs. Not the lifetime Politian’s but us, the governed. I say this is the way to correct years of abusiveness, apathy and cronyism, vote them the hell out! It will suck, those guys are bringing home a ton of money for their districts, money that in some ways are benefitting you and I. But believe this my friends, our government is out of control and needs stopped. Since they will NEVER vote for campaign finance reform that is meaningful and they will NEVER vote for term limits we need to provide them with assistance. Even if you like your representative and they are performing well we must vote them out. We need to do this for a minimum of 16 years in order to get all them turned over. No representative should serve more than one term, no one, no how and no way.

I hate the way I feel lately, for the first time in my life I am unsure of my future and I am unsure of the country’s future. I mean seriously, where are we going to be in a year, in 5 years, Hell sometimes I wonder about next freaking month. We are Americans and we should never be made to feel like that by our government! And as Americans we have a duty to assist in correcting the path our Government has gone down, time to back up and take a different fork in the road. So I am asking for your help, help me vote out every single elected official after one term in office. Join my Facebook group “Let’s vote OUT the incumbents” it is going to be a place for dialog about our problems, not a divisive partisan bitch session about what the other party is or is not doing, they all gotta go because they all been there so long they have forgotten why WE, the people, sent them there.
