A challenge to Congress Print E-mail
Written by Bob Fox

“We the People” have spoken through the courageous voters in MA. As Senator-elect Brown simply put it:  Your Congressional seat belongs to “We the People.” It has my name on it, and Joe the Plumber’s, and all the names of the unemployed.  It DOES NOT have AIG, GM, SEIU or ACORN on it.
You were NOT sent to Washington to be part of the Reid, Pelosi, and Obama puppet show. You (“Mr./Mrs. Smith”) were sent by “We the People” to walk the talk, to keep your campaign promises, to abide by your election platform, and to make your FIRST priority your constituents and to do what is best for “We the People” and for our country above everything else.
You were sent to Washington to support the Constitution, not circumvent it; to uphold the Bill of Rights, not to diminish it; to not allow taxpayer dollars go toward defending terrorists, but to spend tax dollars on defeating them; to work within the framework of the democratic process; not to ignore it; and to not allow socialists and radicals into the Administration whose sole purpose is to transform our great nation into something that would make our forefathers turnover in their graves.
You need to take a step back, take a deep breath, and remind yourselves of the oath you took upon accepting office. “We the People” are not angry at the Constitution or the Bill of Rights or at the democratic process. We are angry at you for not doing your job!
If you promised transparency, then refuse to attend a backdoor negotiation meeting without the presence of CSPAN. Do not accept the business of bribes for votes. Do not vote for bills containing pork, favors to special interest groups, and other wasteful spending since Obama promised not to sign those bills; sending a clear message to him that he also needs to keep his promises to “We the People. Get the picture? If not, the only picture you will get is when you are sitting on your sofa watching TV while looking through the help wanted ads.
I salute the people of MA who voted for Senator-elect Brown. Thank you for doing the right thing in sending a clear message to Congress. And sending a clear message to “We the People”, who you proved can still make a difference.
From a military veteran who loves this country,
Bob Fox

Hi Bob. You specifically state that "We the People" DOES NOT include
AIG, GM, SEIU or ACORN"... and I agree with you. I was wondering if you
agree with the recent decision by the Supreme Court to allow Corporations (like
AIG, GM, SEIU, or ACORN) unlimited spending in political campaigns? It's a
decision that the right-wing conservative voices have said was a good one. Rush
Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck... they all love it. They say it's a
"free speech issue". I happen to disagree. I don't think huge
corporations are entitled to the same constitutional protections that individual
citizens are. And I'm not happy with the idea of political offices being
filled thanks to massive political ad purchases from the limitless bank accounts
of Citibank or AIG. "We the Corporations"? I don't like the sound of
that. How about you?
