Congressional & Senatorial Failure

The US Congress and Senate act independently of their constituencies

Congressmen and Senators ( F ) equals failure to do the (Will of the People). The Will of the people is no longer a part of the democratic process in the United States

The (Will of the People) is no longer a part of the democratic process in the United States of America’s Congressional and Senatorial agencies.

It is a sad state of affairs when from the highest office in the land, to those who are directly responsible for hearing, representing, and properly enforcing the voice, and Will of the People, disregard, and act totally independent of the People.

Despite party affiliations and agendas, (We the People) of the United States of America, the largest, constitutionally based union; predicated upon bylaws specifically adapted by the people and for the people, desire officers who recognize, understand, and are governed by the same, to which we’ve been entrusted. We…the People, have a legal and moral obligation locally and abroad, to enforce the laws relative to electing and dismissing governing officers who by a preponderance of the evidence break the laws of the land and fellow countrymen, and yet speak of lawlessness, and the lack of democracy elsewhere. It just may be that these same neighbors abroad, listen, and watch while our United States official representatives, blatantly disregard, and offend the Will of its own people, while claiming to love their neighbors abroad: thus, our neighbors may determine that, they want no part of the United States’ brand of democracy.

Example: Speaker of the United States House of Representatives; Nancy Pelosi, knowing the Will of the People, and despite all evidence desiring impeachment of President G.W. Bush and Vice President Cheney, after being sworn-in, made the open statement that ‘impeachment of President George W. Bush is off the table,’ thus, flooring the ‘Democratic’ Party as a whole.

Example: Upon the changing of the guard, in both the US Senate and Congress, promises the likes of, and relative to addressing the affairs of, and miss-management by this less than legal, disingenuous administration, bringing our young troops home; out of Iraq and the midst of civil unrest, medical health care and insurance, education and benefits for US citizens, and the overall ill-fated state and welfare of our local economy, seemingly, were no longer imperative. Now, it’s a lax ‘Impeachment is not on the table,’ as to suggest that the direction the United States presently faces, The War; the invasion and occupation in Iraq, the thousands of casualties as a result of an illegal (WAR AGENDA), the real unemployment statistics, outsourcing of jobs, and numerous other illegal activities, were either inevitable, or, already a reality; and, have become an acceptable behavior and condition. Perhaps Speaker Pelosi and her collaborators aren’t cognizant of the ‘Peoples’ Will today, and believe they can continue to hold down the fort, without (the People). Could a person be more remiss than this?

Example; and, less we forget too; upon the changing of the guard, in both the House and the Senate, during the most critical event any country could facilitate; a major election, not one United States Senator stood to, i.e., (represent) an entire ethnic group (of people), whom undoubtedly were disenfranchised. Despite other social ills, this single personal affront upon these US citizens alone has set the United States back one (100) years. All of this, while other countries look-on; questioning, and wondering about our, the United States’ brand and definition of democracy, that, we so desperately want to share with the Iraqi citizenry.

When a country deliberately breaks the legs of, and cripples those within its own society, not only is it defeated from within, it’s sure to reap a similar harvest without.
