Quote from kxvid:

I think voters are more than willing to vote for true reformers. The real lacking isn't voter intelligence, but true reformers running for office. Too many candidates are career politicians, power seekers, constitution ignorant, etc. The system is set up so that even if all the candidates suck, one of them is going to get the job.

“If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.” Samuel Adams, 1780

We are the experienced patriots. The time has come! www.GOOOH.com

What is GOOOH?
A plan to evict all 435 politicians from the U.S. House of Representatives; a plan to replace them with everyday Americans.

Interesting factoid.

19,437,000 or over 14% of our 137 Million tax payers work for the Government earning an average wage of $51407.

In 2008 when unemployment was < 5%, 6,700,000 or over 2% of the adult population in the US were in Jail or on probation.

Estimating 40 Million unemployed, 6 Million jailed or on probation and 24 Million on government payroll and in military service.

This is over 50% of our tax payers... Leaving one hell of a load for the remaining tax payers to cover. Add in caring costs for our elders (Social Security and Medicare etc.)

Immigrating to Haiti and starting over from scratch is an easier task.

... and add in the millions who are drawing Gov't pensions and you will know where all the money is going. It is a problem that only gets bigger with each retirement.
