An American Congress - Now That Would Be Change.

Let's put aside presidential politics for a moment. If you really want to see change, then we need a major dump of the members of Congress. Talk about a good concept gone bad. What about a Congress that recognized that good change is needed, short term sacrifices will be required and the nation needs to be addressed as a whole as opposed to each member applying the pork to his home area to obtain the most votes?

What about a Congress that leaves partisanship at the door and tends to the problems of the nation with the nation's best interest at heart? What about a Congress that would ban all PAC and lobbyist activity for a period of at least 8 years, until the citizens' needs are addressed? What about a moratorium on political contributions that would limit contributions to individuals only? What about a limit on campaign spending for all candidates at all levels? What about a Congress that would consider term limits for the good of the nation?

Impossible, you say? Nothing is impossible. It only takes putting one person in Congress that will be an example to the American people of what could be. It could only take one person, that may already there, to start the ball rolling. If it ever started, the people in this country who want change for their good and the good of the nation would never let that ball stop.

A dream of a fool? Maybe. But this is America, and until somebody hangs out the "Closed" sign for good.....I still consider the United States of America the land of opportunity and the best hope for the future of our world.
