Vote 'Em All Out!

Next year we have an election and a great opportunity to send a message to our representatives; by voting them all out. Think of the message that would give to all politicians, not only in the U.S. but all over the world--that the people still have a voice! Restore Democracy! Other messages too, like bad representation is not tolerated; representatives are not voted in to represent special moneyed interests etc.
One politician was questioned recently after the Transportation Bill passed about why he got more "pork" than anyone else in Congress: his reply, "because I've been in Congress longer than anyone else". That answer should clue people to why we should vote them out; i.e., the longer a politician is in office the better they learn how to work the "system", to everyone's detriment. Some people may take that as a "plus", but most of us taxpayers who have to foot the bill might think otherwise.
What are we getting from our government anyway? Who is benefiting from all those tax cuts and government welfare programs? The problem is we, the people, aren't paying attention to what is going on and have been a little too trusting of those who have been giving us "slick" answers.
It would be fun to see the "scramble" if "VoteEmAllOut.org" became a reality.
