Bribes

[NoBushSpokenHere]

I can only imagine the offers our representatives must be receiving. Thinking about the billions made from the no bid contracts and the billions made by the drug and insurance industries, I would imagine they would have a lot to present.

Do you honestly believe your representative will turn down their offers? We hope so and some may pray they resist the temptation, but doesn’t every man (or woman) have a price?

I believe I would resist, but my faith in others is not as great. What do they have to gain by resisting? Another term in office? Self Respect? The knowledge they helped save America? A potential attempt at becoming President?

If you were offered a billion dollars to vote Republican could you turn it down? If you or the lives of your family members were threatened, would you vote their way?

Does being Democratic preclude one from accepting bribes? I do believe it is in our nature to do the right thing, but we certainly have had members of our party who have been corrupt.

What recourse do we have against those who accept the bribes? What plan do we have to prohibit it from happening? What transparency can we enact to prohibit it? Should the first acts of Congress be to completely reform the system to stop the potential acceptance of bribes from occurring?

This should be our focus right now before it is too late.
