| typical this is a clear illustration of the typical response to ANY citizen input to our gov't, which is SUPPOSED to be representing us.
ever try to write a letter to your senator/congressperson? do you ever feel the canned response you get back is worth less than 5 year old used toilet paper?
i have probably written hundreds of letters expressing views on broadband issues, environmental issues, taxation, justice, etc. and what i get back is blatantly "yadda yadda" responses to my concerns.
i believe firmly it's time to write an amendment to the u.s. constitution to allow for a vote of no-confidence by popular referendum, as they do in other countries that have largely parlimentary systems. this would allow the PEOPLE the chance to throw the damn bums out and start over with new voices that aren't for hire by large corporations, without sacrificing any gov't stability at the same time. i do NOT feel very confident that my senators and congresspeople represent me at all, nor do they represent any of their actual constituents (unless of course they fork over thousands of dollars).
this latest exercise in futility to have the people's voices heard makes me angry, very angry!
what a crock of sh*t. |
