April 27, 2009

Your board of directors met twice in March. We need your help to finish our plans for the 2010 election cycle. We aim to move ever more voters to objectively evaluate their congressional representatives before pulling the lever to reelect them.

Join the Revolution!
Vote Out Incumbents Democracy is growing, and our state chapters are a new part of VOID's growth. We cannot afford the luxury of incompetent, irresponsible, and unrepresentative Congress persons in D.C. Our goal is to throw as many of these incumbents as possible in 2008 and 2010, teaching their replacements the following: 1) The voters employ them and we expect the most for our tax dollar. 2) They will be fired for creating national problems and dividing America, instead of solving national problems and uniting America.

The Rationale for VOID

Wise Voting?

In a democracy, is there such a thing as wise voting? And if there were, wouldn't a majority of voters vote accordingly?

The answers are, Yes and No, respectively. Here's why.

VOID Quotes


Politicians pay to stay in office. The People pay if they do.
The freshman politician wants to serve the people, but is weak on experience. The veteran politician has experience, but serves reelection, instead.
There are no dumb voters. Only people who don't vote.
Voting OUT incompetent, inefficient, and irresponsible politicians is how Revolution is prevented.
Only politicians would use other people's money to buy bridges to nowhere.
Politicians are living proof of The Peter Principle.

Peter Principle (n.) - The theory that folks will advance in their careers beyond their level of competence, by one promotion too many. And having done so, remain there, screwing everything up for everyone else.
DRR
Honoring "Grandpa" Smith
In honor and memory of Mr. Steve "Grandpa" Smith. Mr. Smith was among a handful of our first members and volunteers, and his continuous encouragement, ideas, and support shall be dearly missed.

Lobbyist's House Passes Energy-Climate Compromise

The House narrowly passed what has long been considered to be an impossible bill to push through during a recession. It was bi-partisan in its passage, as 8 Republicans voted for it, and 44 Democrats voted against it. However, this sweeping energy innovation and climate protection bill, faces a short life as it heads to the Senate later this year.

The Importance of Service

When selecting candidates to support and elect, the things many people consider are their political views, their experience, and their training. One thing many don't considered strongly enough is their attitude towards the position they seek. Are the candidates we elect politicians or are they representatives? Is politics their career or are they in service of their constituents? These are important questions that deserve voters' attention.

Senate for Sale, As Usual !

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 has America's Voting Problem

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.

Obama: "I am Responsible".

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 has some good articles.

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.
