Why be a Republican or a Democrat?

How many Congressmen and Senators promise to act independently and follow their constituents but once in office toe the "party" line? Ten percent, Thirty percent, Fifty percent, Eighty percent? If you investigate votes in both the Congress and the Senate, you would find that those that vote the party line is a significant amount. Why is that? Well, the Republican National Committee and the Democrat National Committee both provide funds and support for candidates of their party and in some cases it amounts to more than what constituents can provide. In most States, it is virtually impossible to run for public office unless you are a member of one of these two parties.

OK, let them have their party but let us get out! Those persons registering as Independent has been steadily growing and has actually become the deciding factor is many recent elections. Whether a candidate is Republican, Democrat, Independent, or whatever, hold their feet to the fire! They were voted in to represent YOU, not their party, not Special Interest Groups, not THEMSELVES! If they don't follow their constituency's wishes - VOTE THEM OUT! If they don't keep the promises they made when candidates - RECALL THEM! Don't wait for someone else to do it for you, get together with your neighbor; other neighborhoods; your town, your county. Contact your Congressmen and Senators and tell them what YOU want. If we are going to get these politicians back in line, it is up to US to do something.

Get involved before it's too late.
