An Urgent Plea to the Independent American Voter

{link » Paper Tyrants}
“Congress: Of all the ways of killing liberty, from pistols to propaganda, the cleverest yet devised may be to smother the populace with endless words. Quick votes for colossal, unread legislation violate Congress' oath.
[...]
Any time a bill is so long and convoluted that it takes someone who speaks 586 words a minute to read it into the record, it's a good indication that it shouldn't be passed into law at all.”
 — By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
Dear Independent American Voter,

For the love of God and sanity, please throw the incumbent bums out. I am begging you. In the next Congressional election (November 2010), please vote against every incumbent, regardless of party affiliation. This is what I intend to do. I am asking you to join me in an effort to retrieve sanity from beyond the pale.

Our two party system has proven impervious to amelioration via third-party incursions. But I strongly believe that my strategy can win the day. Party members will not be swayed under any circumstances; they will prefer to vote for a yellow dog rather than an eminently qualified candidate who is not of the same party. The only hope of restoring a semblance of sanity to the United States Congress is for independent voters everywhere to vote for the challenger in every single case! This strategy, in effect, will impose consecutive-term limits on all Congressmen and Senators. After three such cycles (which is required for a fresh start in the Senate), if we do not succeed in shaking-up the corrupt and broken system currently ensconced, then I'm afraid we are all f*cked anyway.

And I implore you all to vote against the incumbent Presidential candidate too. This will effect a lame-duck mentality on every President, such that he or she will realize that getting re-elected is NOT job one! Job one for any government official should be to truly serve the best interests of the American people, not the personal interests of the official, which is what they all currently think of first, last, and foremost.
