Comments on: The Payoff for Annoying Congress http://morewhat.com/wordpress/the-payoff-for-annoying-congress/ To build consensus on issues Sat, 11 Feb 2012 23:57:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.3 by: Stanford Matthews http://morewhat.com/wordpress/the-payoff-for-annoying-congress/#comment-6999 Sat, 09 Jun 2007 18:00:37 +0000 http://morewhat.com/wordpress/the-payoff-for-annoying-congress/#comment-6999 This may be a unique opportunity to continue the pressure on Congress as well as the White House to cause Washington to actually listen and act upon demands of citizens. For so long it was just special interest. The current failure of S. 1348 is evidence that not only special interest can be effective. Continue the pressure on this and other issues. We have until the end of the 2008 election cycle to retrain politicians. Simple emails are sufficient to make a point. I received responses from every Senator from an email form submission. Granted, they were form letter responses based on the email form I filled out. I used their address as mine to avoid getting deleted automatically. The fact that they all returned more than a autoresponder message was a surprise. Now I use my own address, etc., and still get answered. They feel the pressure. Keep it up.

Sure, it might mean a little sacrifice on our part because we'll have to pay more for some products, goods, and services but if we don't, these conversations will continue the way they are now and nothing will be done. If our government doesn't want to enforce the existing laws that's their problem... and it's quite apparent that they don't want to enforce them. So, let's hit them all where it hurts. I believe the sacrifices we make in such an endeavor will be quite less than the sacrifices we'll make if we allow things to continue as is. I'm sure there are other ways we can fight this. We just have to put on our thinking caps and start organizing movements.

The CONgress Critters are angry with US. They have "forgotten" that they have been elected/chosen/hired to do OUR bidding and NOT the other way around. This war is NOT over by a long shot as reid has so stated. We The People DEMANDED that the CONgress NOT pass this non-amnesty amnesty bill. The CONgress Critters are angry with US.

Youre right on spot Stanford! In every case, those who support amnesty have only a financial incentive that is blinding them from following the law and doing the right thing.
Youre right on spot Stanford!
