Time To Clean Out the Medicine Cabinet

A funny thing happens to you as you age. Your collection of prescription drugs begins to grow at an exponential rate. This past weekend the wife and I decided it was time to clean out our medicine cabinet along with the bathroom closet that contained all sorts of pharmaceuticals (many of which were out of date). So we did the logical thing -- we flushed them down the toilet! What was left was a clean, organized and efficient medicine cabinet. Then it hit me like a flash! Why don't we treat our congress like we do our medicine cabinets? It's time to go through the lot and toss out the old, the out of date, the ineffective, and the inefficient! If we want our government to be "Of the people, for the people...", then it's up to us to do some good old fashion spring cleaning. For far too long we have elected our representatives and sent them off to Washington to do our business only to find out that a congressman's first priority once elected is to get re-elected. They stop listening to us and focus on consolidating power and raising enough money to run the next campaign.

Do you want a Congress that's efficient, well organized and free of scandal and corruption? Well then it's time to flush the old, out of touch lot of them. Place term limits on them, tolerate no graft or corruption, start demanding that they answer to us!

Take back your government America!
