Fire Congress?

I recently came across www.GOOOH.com. I think it is worth your time to check them out. Very interesting concept.

Is it time for Constitutional Amendments for congressional term limits and a balanced budget? Is that the only way to keep Washington from destroying this country?

Below is part of their most recent press release. While I do not agree that the Republicans "ignored the looming Social Security crisis", I still think the idea is worth your consideration:

Neither party has offered a remedy for what ails our nation; neither comprehends fiscal responsibility. The Republicans are begging to be put back in power, but what have they done to deserve it? They ran up the deficit and refused to put an end to earmarks. They did not seal our borders. They did not improve the education system. They did not decrease our dependence on foreign oil, or prevent the collapse of the housing market. They argued about steroids in baseball and the minimum wage, while managing a mere and temporary 3% cut in the top tax rate. They ignored the looming Social Security and Medicare crisis, and will continue to do so. What exactly have they done to deserve your vote other than vote against the “other” party? It is dishonorable for us to pass this debt, these problems, to our children. It is our duty to fix it, and we need to fix it now!

We cannot continue to vote for the lesser of two evils, regardless of the party you prefer. It is time to raise our voices and tell the politicians we are going to do things differently. It is time to redirect the course of our nation before the politicians of both parties destroy her. It is time to tell the politicians to Get Out Of OUR House.
