Ques - is it possible for about 500 thousand citizens to take back
Edited on Wed Oct-04-06 11:07 PM by higher class
the country by demanding honesty from Congress? Why couldn;t we? A citizens oversight group? Ia it possible to organize without the consent of Congress, but with the help of the GAO, FBI, and any other government departments that we pay for?

I just finished watching the PBS program that Moyers narrated about the criminality of DeLay, Abramoff, Reed, Norquist, Ney. We can't afford to let ourselves be messed with any longer.

Kicking them out and replacing them doesn't seem to help. They need citizen auditors and counselors.

Seriously, if a politician says we need to take back America do they mean kick out the others so we can have a chance at making the big money?

Can 500 thousand watchdog citiznes keep them honest?

1. I say put their calendars/phone logs online and hold them, not aides
responsible for their accuracy. Let's see who they're lunching/dining with, the golf trips, etc. That would practically guarantee an uprising among normal Americans!

2. I have been thinking about certain constitutional reforms...
that may be needed to prevent the events of the past few years.
