Revamped government

Hi

If you have followed my posts you know I am a great advocate of a flat or fail tax. Now I will try to spell out some other changes which would be beneficial. Please remember that I want nothing except the best for our country and its people.

Term limits is often mentioned and I think that it is now time for term limits for Congress. Too many members get elected, stay forever and take root in Congress. This leads to a misguided concept that the congressional seat belongs to the congress person. The recent Senatorial election in Massachusetts where a republican took the seat that was held by democrat Ted Kennedy illustrates why we need term limits.

During that campaign the democratic candidate acted and believed that she was the heir to the senate seat. The republican kept reminding the populace that it was the peoples seat. You know what happened, a republican won the seat held by a democrat for 50 years. The people spoke. The voters said the seat is ours, not a politician who claims a right of passage. Hooray for democracy.

We need to keep the attitude of the voters in Massachusetts. Congress works for us, just keep reminding yourself of that fact. And even more importantly, at election time remind the politicians that we own the congress. We pay the salary and therefore we have earned the right to tell congress what we want.

I will continue to write about what I feel are changes we noeed to keep our government strong,,so stay tuned.

Meanwhile, please continue to pray for our service people.
GOD Bless
