With the election about  two weeks away, let's take a look at some recent history.  The 1994 congressional election was an interesting wake-up call for the Beltway Insiders.  There were 125 new members of Congress sworn in the next January.  That means over 28% of Congressional seats changed hands in that one election.

What was the issue that canceled the overwhelming advantage that incumbents have?  The American people, led by gun owner and Second amendment groups, had enough of restricting firearms in the hands of private citizens.  This highly emotional issue led to what has been termed the “Revolution of 1994”, which set the Washington Insiders back several years.

What highly emotional issues might influence this Congressional Election?  I can think of three; illegal immigration, fuel prices, and the Bank Bailout.  Fuel prices are slowly coming down in an effort to appease voters.  Look out for a sharp increase after the election.  Illegal immigration is not in the news now, so, unless you lost your job recently, this issue is not uppermost in your mind.  The Bailout has just taken place, so this is the issue to use to throw the rascals out.  Just remember the many years of a disastrous energy policy, the non-enforcement of immigration law, and the blatant open borders policy which Congress has fostered for decades.

Most voters do not know where to find the voting record of those in the Congress.  Letters to the editor will tell voters how their Representative and Senators voted on the Bailout.  If their voting record on the Bailout is widely enough known, many of them will be defeated in the coming election.  This is our challenge, to clean house of those in Congress who voted for the Bailout.

These are the steps we will take for this election:

1.   Check the voting record of your two Senators and your Representative at the link below.

2.   Congratulate those who voted against the Bailout.

3.   Write a letter to the editor with the names of those who voted for the Bailout.  Mention that those who voted for the Bailout do not deserve to be returned to Congress.  Send this letter to your local papers.    A link for sending letters to multiple papers in your area is listed below.  A sample letter to the editor is written below.

Publicizing our “Representatives” voting record will go a long way toward bringing Congress under control.

Due to the importance of this election and the choices which will be made both in Congress and on the State level, we are requesting that you join with us in a day of thanksgiving and prayer on the weekend of November 1st and 2nd.

Pray that our citizens may be guided in their choices this election.

God Bless America,

Letter to the Editor;

The Wall Street Bailout is the largest transfer of wealth from the American Taxpayer to special banking interests in the history of our nation.    The Treasury Secretary, Mr. Paulson,  has complete control of where the money goes and there is absolutely no oversight.   What is to stop him from giving money to his Wall Street and Chinese banking cronies for favors or payments from them?

The voting record on the Bailout is as follows:

Senator A voted  ---   Bailout.

Senator B voted ---    Bailout.

Representative X voted ---    Bailout.

Those who voted against Bailout are to be congratulated.

Those who voted for Bailout should never be trusted with public office again.   Whether they were threatened, blackmailed, or bribed,  they may not be trusted to represent us in the future.

Vote against anyone who voted for Bailout including Obama and McCain!
