Senator for Sale
I'm fed up with Congress, on a number of issues, including, but not limited to, the amnesty bill for illegal aliens now being pushed through the Senate, the lack of action on establishing Net Neutrality into law, the failure of Congress to do anything about the Copyright Royalty Board which threatens to kill Internet radio, and on and on. Last but not least, Congressional earmarks, which amount to nothing less than using taxpayer money to buy votes for incumbents.
So, I called Sen. Voinovich's office to rant. I got no feeling at all that the guy I talked to gave a damn about ANYTHING I said. Which, of course, is in itself my biggest complaint about Congress.
Next, I was getting ready to call Sen. Sherrod Brown's office. I went to his official web site to get his phone number, and there, ready to download from his "Contact" page, is an Appropriations Request Form. In other words, "Want some pork for your pet project? I'm your Senator!" This blatant pandering is beneath disgusting.
My current philosophy? Never, NEVER vote for an incumbent. All of them care only for their own political asses, and not the country or the Constitution they were elected to uphold.
