Many thanks to the representatives who remembered Monday who they are representing. Long may you occupy your office. At least until you fall under the influence of the high lead content in the D.C. water.
I have thought long and hard about what the lowly taxpayer could do that would adequately express the collective disgust many of us feel about the Socialization of our nation. My inspiration came from Mike Baker's "People's Weekly Brief,"in which the author referred to the high-volume of "poo-flinging" currently occupying many of our political leaders. I was reading that when it hit me.
Pick six representatives from the list of those who voted in favor of the bailout plan. Or ten, if you want to go with the super-size pack.
Then send each of them a roll of toilet paper. Jumbo-sized. Get some of that John Wayne TP - the kind that's rough, tough, and won't take crud off anyone. If you want to attach a note explaining which mess they should be cleaning up, all the better.
Oh, I know, we are getting close to the election. You might be afraid that your package wouldn't arrive in time to do any good, to send a message before the election.
But fear not; we'll send 95% of the group right back to continue dumping on us.
