Our Public Servants in Congress . . .

We all have representatives and senators looking out for us in Congress, right?

WRONG!

Those representatives and senators now hold the cushiest jobs in the world . . . the pay is the highest, and if they want more, they simply vote themselves a raise. The retirement is the best in the world . . . once elected to Congress, they qualify to receive full pay and allowances for the rest of their lives, whether they spend all that time in the Congress or not. They do not have to work for their pay . . . if you don't believe that, watch the TV carefully the next time it shows one of our representatives or senators making a speech before the Congress of our country. You will quickly note that all the seats that should be filled with our public servants are empty! Where is everyone? Why, they are meeting in private meetings with others of their ilk, and trading votes back and forth to assure that each one's favorite PORK bills are approved!

NOW, WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?

Simple! They are working to assure that their constituents are happy with the job they are doing . . . doing? Happy constituents will see that they are re-elected for another term! And when the send out their solicitation letters for donations to their re-election campaign, the drive will be very successful and bring in lots of money! Sometimes they don't spend all the money that have raised . . . so what happens to the rest? They get to stick that into their own pockets!

NOW GET THIS!

These senators and representatives do not give a damn about our country! Their primary objective is to win elections . . . the pay is the best, the retirement is the best, they get to travel all over the world at government expense, they have the best health care that taxpayer money can buy, so who wouldn't sell his soul for package like that?

IS THERE ANYTHING WE VOTERS CAN DO ABOUT IT?

The answer is a resounding "YES!"

Resolve never to vote for the incumbent!

Resolve to become an INDEPENDENT, AND NEVER VOTE FOR THE SAME PARTY!

Obviously, there might be some advantages to not hewing to that line one hundred percent!

If, by chance, one of the senators or representatives can satisfy us that he is honest, does not sponsor pork bills, and works for the best interests of our country, and, if by chance we, the voters, care more about our country than satisfying our greed for federal money, then we might seriously consider sending the incumbent back to Congress for another term!

Just think . . . if we had a Congress full of honest, upright senators and representatives, and if our president was also honest and upright, we would not be listening to them argue about the benefit of allowing 12 million Mexican illegal aliens to remain in our country . . . we would long ago have gathered them all up and trucked them back to Mexico, and we would have explained things the president of Mexico in terms that even he could understand!

If our Congress was filled with honest and upright men and women, they would clean up the welfare act in this country, and make all the deadbeats on welfare go to work, hard work, for their government checks. Soon those deadbeats would find other jobs where they got more pay, and didn't have to work so hard!

But wait! Aren't some of those on welfare physically handicapped and unable to work? Quite possibly, and steps should be taken to assure that they really are that handicapped! The cheaters should be dropped from the rolls, and those truly handicapped should be helped to recover, wherever possible, and to live normal lives, if not.

And what about single parent families? The single parent family needs to be redefined. When a woman beds every stud she meets and becomes pregnant, she should not be rewarded by paying her to have more children and thus get more government support. If she cannot support those children herself, they should be taken away from her and put into an orphanage where they can receive good food, and a warm home, and especially a good education so that when they grow up, they will be able to take their places in society and become good, taxpaying citizens!

Now, I will just bet that there are millions of you out there that will agree and even have some other ideas about how we could make our country a better place to live and to make our own lives better. Now don't wast our time telling me how wrong I am . . . the world is full of people who can do that! Tell me what YOU would do to improve our government, and to eliminate all this graft and corruption in our elected officials! We, the electorate, need to get more involved in running our country! We need to reward the honest politician with our vote . . . yes . . .but we need especially to demand that they work for a living, protecting our borders, and cleaning up the graft and corruption in our government! If they do not do their jobs, they should be fired just like the rest of us when we do not do our jobs!

Yes, and when they are caught with their hands in the cookie jar, they need to be prosecuted, deprived of all retirement benefits, and sent to jail!
