Congress Inaction

Submitted by ub on

The US Congress is supposed to be back in action today, but don't hold your breath for many actions.

This is one of the reasons why voters should also be cleaning The House and The Senate on election day.

With weeks away from the danger of another government shutdown, the Republican leaders are not leading much.

The seven-week vacation should indicate to most intelligent Americans that a change has got to come from the top and all the way down to local government fat cats who say but do not do anything for the people they are sworn to represent and protect.

RIP: THE FORCE

Submitted by ub on

With our apologies to Trekkies, this is about the "Obstructionists, we will call them "0 Force" those n US Congress which have done nothing for the past 8 years, and may ruin everything the greatest democracy on earth has worked hard to build. This is also for the media, which owns its fair share of the blame by doing next to nothing about preventing the mess we find ourselves in.

Its time to educate the public about "0 Force", which translates to America inaction. Future generations will condemn us for inaction. US citizens should register to vote and use #VoterRegistrationDay on social media to spread the word. http://cimages.me/content/register-vote-0

Start by cleaning House and Senate obstructionists. These are the culprits who have been trying to destroy the administration that our great nation voted for twice. It's not just about taking the White House, but it is also about changing Congressional leadership, which has been taking us in the wrong direction.

The media carry the blame for covering his antics and propping up The Donald. The media which gives him the platform to spew fear. Also, it's the GOP leadership which supported him and if they are not removed from powerful positions they will continue a path to the destruction of democracy.This is a clear explanation for increased foreign influence by corrupt nations and organizations.

US House of Representatives Democrats took a hike down the information super highway yesterday morning and turned to internet technologies like Facebook's live-streamed video to get their message out after the in-chamber cameras were systematically shut off.

CON GRACE?

Submitted by ub on

There is no grace going on there on Capitol Hill, and too much of a con job. Some ask where is it? Show me. Well, if progress is moving forward, and regress is moving backwards, what is Congress, a national con job?

The GOP lead congress has done very little over the past years. Call your representative and condemn them for their continual refusal to perform their jobs. Demand that constant bickering and personal attacks must stop.

REPUBLICANT?

Submitted by ub on

Does the GOP leadership wish the Republican party could topple The Donald and find a real presidential candidate and a sane nominee at the national convention next month? Some say no way, while others worry in dismay.

However, nothing will change unless the next election brings sweeping changes to Congress, where Democrats are in the majority.

A Digital Democracy

Submitted by ub on

The practice of a digital system of democracy would not only allow registered voters to opine on which issues they want candidates to discuss, but also tell politicians where to focus their time and energy.

Which topic would the majority of US voters like to see the Congress dealing with? Does it matter to you, your family and fiends?

Whether you know who you’re voting for, are yet to decide or have a specific subject candidates should be addressing. Everyone's contributions would help shape the future of this great nation.
