We need a revolution. *Say get rid of the senate, in this day and age

It isn't like a mule has to go from California to DC in 4 weeks like 250
years ago.


We need democracy to go right to the people, none of this corruption for
3 years and repent just before an election crap.


Yeah, mob rule, that's the ticket. *Our forefathers founded a Republic,
and IMO correctly so. *There's an easier way to rid ourselves of
corruption, vote the bums out. *I'd also suggest campaign finance
reform. *If we eliminate the incestuous relationship between campaign
finance and corporate welfare, we can demand that our politicians do our
work, not spend their time looking for $$ to get them reelected. *


Note the sig line.


"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those
who are willing to work and give to those who would not." *
Thomas Jefferson


It's been noted before. I just didn't have the heart to bring it to light in
"your" case. *"W." has done his best and nearly brought it to fruition.
