Mobilize
Friday, January 30th, 2009Democrats in office have already made it clear that they care more about their careers than they care about democracy itself.
In the first part of their new rules package, the Democrats have abolished term limits for committee chairmanship - limits that Republicans established in 1995. In addition, the rules essentially prevent Republicans from having any voice whatsoever. It will be close to impossible to send Democrat sponsored bills back to committee for revision. And as Pelosi said herself, the House will no longer entertain bills sponsored by Republicans. Is this the bi-partisanship on which all the Democrats based their campaigns?
But it’s time to stop complaining about the their childish behavior and start doing something about it.
I encourage you to join the Intelligent Thinkers Movement. This organization will send you an email whenever important bills are up for vote in your area.
When you get the emails, write your representative to let them know how you feel and be sure to tell them that you don’t have a short memory. You can look up your representative from the link on the right, labeled “Write Your Representative.” It’s very easy, and your voice will make a difference.
