How to Fix the Federal Government

Everyone on Facebook has one or two friends that are overly
enthusiastic about guns, but ninety-one percent of us wanted the background
checks. We did not get them because for a long time the federal government has
not worked for us.  For example the NRA donated
since 1990 to Roy Blunt (R-Missouri) $60,550 in campaign contributions; Saxby
Chambliss (R-Georgia) $56,950; John Thune (R-South Dakota) $48,605; and Lindsey
Graham (R-South Carolina) at $46,600. Corporations hand out much larger amounts
of money, but listed below are the senators who are clearly ruled by bribes.

A good number of politicians vote based upon what campaign
contributions they receive from special interest groups.  They do not represent the people who voted
for them. This is taxation without representation. Our representatives
represent special interest groups and the 1% to pay for re-election
commercials. Democracy has been replaced by “Corpocracy”. We are a society that
is dominated politically and economically by large corporations. Low minimum
wage means that we pay for food stamps for people that are employed at places
like Walmart. Health care costs are mostly unregulated. “Non-profit” hospitals
charge insane amounts of money for procedures, and it all ends up in the
pockets of a few.

Below is a list that contains the names of senators that
should be voted out of office. The backlash of disapproval has motivated some
senators to put together another similar bill for gun control. It is too late
because we now know who they are, and please do not forget who they are. Bravo
to people like David Letterman, who put a spotlight on each of them in his “Stooge
of the Night” bits.

From the New Jersey Times…..
