How many of you know how your 3 Congressional Representatives have done in the Legislature?

I pay alot of attention to how my legislators vote.

I have given the senate and house websites to people that were trying to contact their representatives.

I write to them about upcoming bills. Keep track of letters they write me in return . Check on votes to see if they told me one thing but voted the opposite.

I try not to insult other's political parties - but I don't believe people should follow blindly like sheep.

I have asked people their opinions on upcoming votes, what they believe a policy will accomplish.

Maybe you just weren't on-line at the time.

I do pay attention to my state's elected leaders. In fact, I send them emails about some issues not only going on in this state, but this country as well. Here, they are voting on many things, that if I were to name them all, it would take up more space and you might want to side with them too!

Not everyone insults the Demos. So you are wrong there, but majority of them do!

You probably haven't seen one question regarding the elected official votes, because you need to understand the Demos have just got started in leadership, or could it be that the Demos are not seeing eye to eye with Mr. Bush? He is still President you know.

there are numerous radio shows that go out on the street and grab random people and ask simple questions like who is the vice president, who is the speaker of the house very few of them even get that right. I can guarantee you most people in here dont know voting records by this fact alone. At least these people are making some concerted effort. Its not enough but it is some.

My Congressman Mike Ferguson (R-NJ 7) is a douchebag. He is a rubber-stamp of Bush and his biggest campaign contributor was Tom Delay.

I had the privilege of meeting Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ). He has done a lot of great things for New Jersey.

I can't say the same thing for my other senator, Bob Menendez (D-NJ). Right now he's being investigated for corruption in Jersey City. However, I agree with every vote he has made, so I'm in a pickle there.

You were totally "Had" by Blim.

You are trying too hard to appear like an authority. You forgot the fundamentals.

Go back to under-grad US Government. This time, pay attention.

Are you referring to my three US Congressional representatives, or my three State Congressional representatives?

Or, did you forget that we have a Federal Democracy, in your feeble attempt to be pedantic?

How many of you ( Lana excluded ) know that not everyone has 3 congressional representatives

I know what they haven't done....they haven't taken Bush into immediate custody! Impeachment should not be an issue here. President Bush should be immediatley incarcerated and held for trial. He's terrible,

President George W. Bush, Vice President Richard B. Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales have committed violations and subversions of the Constitution of the United States of America in an attempt to carry out with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes and deprivations of the civil rights of the people of the United States and other nations, by assuming powers of an imperial executive unaccountable to law and usurping powers of the Congress, the Judiciary and those reserved to the people of the United States, by the following acts:

8) Violations and subversions of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, both a part of the "Supreme Law of the land" under Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Constitution, in an attempt to commit with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes in wars and threats of aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq and others and usurping powers of the United Nations and the peoples of its nations by bribery, coercion and other corrupt acts and by rejecting treaties, committing treaty violations, and frustrating compliance with treaties in order to destroy any means by which international law and institutions can prevent, affect, or adjudicate the exercise of U.S. military and economic power against the international community.
