Fight Fire with Fire

The goal of leftist organizations is to overwhelm the system. This is done by placing such a demand on Government entities that they cannot possible keep up and therefore "crash". Whether this is submission by mail, phone, email, direct input to Government web sites doesn't matter - the goal is to increase workload beyond the ability of that particular Government entity to meet the demand.
Currently, the House of Representatives and Senate are taking direction from the Executive Branch and trying to pass as many bills as possible that spend money for "pet" projects; take over the ownership (or at least the control) of large segments of the business community; or provide expanded Federal regulations to frustrate business owners.
In order to fight this massive takeover by our government, I propose that people meet with their elected representatives and remind them that they are in office at the whim of the people in their congressional districts. At the same time, prepare a piece of draft legislation that you think would help you and other people in your district and ask the representative to introduce your bill.
Let's suppose that 100 persons present draft bills to each of their representatives. These bills should be about reforming the Federal Government in such a manner as to make it more difficult to pass legislation. For example: term limits, limitations on congressional staff hiring, transparency on how much each Congressman and Senator spends for his own office, limitations on congressional salary increase during recessions and depressions. You get the idea.
So, now is the time for action. Get off your lazy duff and call, write, or visit your elected representative with a draft bill in hand. These people work for you! If they don't do what you want - fire them! Make it clear that if they do not represent you, then you will have to find someone to run against them that does. Remember, Congressmen have to face re-election every two years (unlike Senators, which I will discuss in a later post).
