You wouldn't marry someone who is already married, would you?

How long are we going to ignore this issue? Do we want a Congress beholding to the corporation’s narrow interests? Interests seeking more tax cuts, fewer regulations, free to pollute, ramping up more predatory lending, banks teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, putting the tax burden on the middle class, free to spend any amount of money to buy a Congressman or woman, and all not beholding to government or anyone. Totally in the shadows with no transparency. Just do as they please.

Or do you want a Congress working for the voters. Giving allegiance to their local constituency and creating legislation beneficial to the American people. Job creation, providing health benefit, support for quality education, more teachers, more police and fire responders, and providing a safe and secure land of natural beauty and resourceful promise. Pretty much how our fore fathers wanted it. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt. Possibly even Reagan, Kennedy, and Eisenhower. All wanting the best for America.

When left unregulated, corporations have only one interest. Profit, share holders, and make it as cheap as you can. Sending jobs overseas to low wage countries, while taking good jobs from Americans.

So, it’s yours and my decision. Keep the current congress. A congress like a monkey on a string. And the corporations are holding the strings.

Or vote for only those candidates who have the best interest of America in mind. Loyal only to voters in your district or state. True Americans. Pledging to resist big corporate money and work only for the people who elected them.

It’s your decision. A responsible congress or a congress lured by deep pocketed lobbyists and robber barons.

Congress is the big 'speed bump' in the road.

All America wants to do is work at a reasonable job, own a home, educate it’s children, maintain good health, and help others. However, standing in the way of America’s beneficent is a recalcitrant congress. A dysfunctional Congress bought and paid for by ill intended corporate lobbyist with deep pockets filled with reelection money.

And we are talking about Corporations ably aided by congress purposefully filtering all available money away from middle America. Money diverted into private corporation bank accounts. Then generously distributed to all participating congressmen and women. A reward for congress changing laws that unfairly advantage the rich and take away from the working class and poor.

All the while congress is blaming the federal government for wisely taxing the rich and distributing benefit to preschool children, to the elderly, the disabled, and working class poor. Certainly a Biblical concept. RememberWWJD?

So why do we Americans allow this? Why do we keep on reelecting the same old congress whose only interest is to enable the rich and oppress the poor? Why do grass root Americans vote against their own interests? Often voting for a nebulous mysterious ideology and not voting for an American belief. Beliefs as in “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”

America! Wake up! Smell the coffee and go do your job. Your job is to know your district congressman or woman. Let them know you are not interested in subsidizing the rich but advantaging the middle class. Helping the middle class take care of its poor, homeless, sick, and cleaning up the environment. Congress! Get out of the way!
