Our Representatives have decided that they no longer represent us. Instead, they represent the corporations who made them rich. Our government is no longer a Republic, instead it is now a Corporatocracy. By refusing to meet with us in Town Halls across the country, they made it clear that they don't want to be told what to do or how to vote. That was a mistake. We voted them in and we can vote them out.
Just because it is the custom of the land to hold elections at a certain time, doesn't mean that we must hold elections only at that time. We can call for special elections anytime we deem it necessary. We don't have to accept appointed persons to offices - we can insist that an election be held and that our voices be heard.
Other countries around the world exercise the right of special elections when they lose confidence in their government. I say that we should call for a special election in the USA. Now, today. Call for an election for federal representatives because they are no longer listening to the people who sent them to Washington. The government does not tell the people what to do - instead the people tell the government what to do.
If this is revolution, then so be it. I'm sure that all across the United States, there are people unhappy enough with their representatives that this could take hold. We already march and attend town halls and call our representatives. Why not hold an election. The persons we send do not have to step up and volunteer to run. They don't need to be rich or famous. The only requirement is that they swear to uphold the laws of the country and represent us, carrying our voice to Washington. We would hope that they are willing and honest.
We don't need government representatives to call an election. We can recall who we send to Washington at any time. We have that right. We the people can send out paper ballots to every person through printed media and collect those ballots to be counted at every courthouse across the nation. We don't need government to run our elections.
I call on every citizen of this country to call for an election in their town. If the representatives we sent won't uphold the law and represent us, then they will be replaced.
As for the farce in the White House, I say lock the doors and unplug the phones. If white supremacy is what they want, and Russian interference is what they insist upon, send them to Moscow. We don't want them on our soil.
