I watch, listen to, and read the political news each and every day, and I am enormously impressed that the main stream media political analysts are using the word "anti-incumbent" in their discussions and projections of this year's elections. More and more our Vote Out Incumbents window/bumper stickers are showing up on cars on America's highways and streets thanks to our supporters and members helping fund their production and distribution.

We wish you all the very warmest and happiest holidays.
Last month's off-year elections were overwhelmingly anti-incumbent. From governor's races to local city councils, anti-incumbent voters overwhelmed incumbent supporters. It is crucial that we keep this momentum going and strengthen it into the 2010 mid-term elections.
The Democrats in the Congress are displaying incompetence and lack of experience in Congressional leadership, and it is costing this nation its future. Republicans are blocking efforts to rescue our future. The majority of voting Americans in 2008, no doubt hoped that with the election of Obama and a Democratic Congress, our nation's problems would be addressed and solved. The disappointment is everywhere in today's political news coverage.

It's a brand new ELECTION Year! Y E A H!!!!
Another opportunity to get our friends and family to grasp the Vote Out Incumbents strategy for forcing politicians into putting the American people's demand for responsible, transparent, and accountable government ahead of their party's, their wealthy campaign donor's, and their myriad special interest lobbyist's demands. We anti-incumbent voters don't demand that parties, campaign donations, or lobbyists be done away with. We only demand that their interests take a back seat to the public's and the nation's interests.
Sen. Diane Feinstein canceled a campaign fundraiser after the Roll Call published a Lobbyist's invitation to constituents inviting them to attend. The invitation to donate to Feinstein's campaign listed Feinstein's various Committee roles as meal courses on the fundraiser's luncheon menu (i.e. power on the menu to be bought).
Iran appears to have an American voting problem. They can't seem to use their vote to remove politicians from office. Regardless of how the people vote, the incumbent wins. That is the claim of many in Iran.
This afternoon, at his televised California town hall meeting, Obama said he knows folks are angry about the AIG bonuses. He said he is angry about them. He says blame is flying everywhere, at Treasury, Democrats, and Republicans. He said if folks need to blame someone, blame him. He said, ultimately, I am responsible. I am the president. All well and good as far as it goes. His words, however, don't allude to the depth of the first major black mark on his presidency.
CREW, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, writes:
House has opened wide loopholes in ethics rules.
As the U.S. House of Representatives continues its debate on how to proceed on ethics reform, an article in today's edition of The Hill is instructive. Even though, the Senate is far from doing all the work on policing its members that needs to be done, that body is viewed as more aggressive on ethics issues. Two former House members (Cunningham and Ney) are incarcerated. Two more members (Jefferson and Renzi) are currently under indictment.
