Governor race could gauge voter anger

CNN's Schneider says Gov. Corzine could be in trouble if voter anger prevails in November's election.

Voter anger however, does not necessarily result in an anti-incumbent vote on election day. With the U.S. Congress' approval rating in the toilet, voters still relected nearly 90% of all incumbents in the 2008 elections. Voter anger has to become organized and motivated to reflect that anger in the voting booth. That is what the Vote Out Incumbents Democracy organization is about. Support us and help insure voter disappointment and anger at current government is reflected in the ballot booth in a swell of votes for challengers instead of incumbents.

Remember, you don't have to vote against your Party to vote for a challenger and against an incumbent in the Primary elections. But, you do have to register to vote, and commit to voting in the Primary elections to exercise this citizen responsibility.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled,
public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should
be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands
should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again
learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."

Cicero - 55 BC

TERM LIMITS

It's your choice. WE DO HAVE TERM LIMITS!!! We haven't used them very effectively and an incumbent would try to convince you not to exercise your TERM LIMITS prerogative; that to VOTE OUT THE INCUMBENT. The infinite wisdom of our Founding Fathers, people just like us, realized that men and women once elected to a public office would want to stay there as long as possible, even if they were doing a ineffective job.

Virginians To Vote Out Incumbents

Introductions:

My name is David Remer, president of the national political action organization known as Vote Out Incumbents for Democracy, or VOID, for short. I am excited to see the great state of Virginia join in our effort to help voters grasp the power of unseating incumbents, and the necessity for doing so, as our government fails us. VOID is an all volunteer organization founded at the end of 2005, and still growing from state to state.

Government, In Theory

Here at VOID we like to advocate for voters to become informed. However, we often fail to explain what that means. For many, being informed means being aware of the issues and forming an opinion on what's being talked about. That is certainly part of it, yet there's so much more to it than that!

Well intended Reformers Don't Get It

America doesn't have to worry about an Article V convention. America doesn't have to worry about Congressional term limits. America doesn't have to worry about any 3rd party coming to power through the likes of GOOOH or the Independence Caucus. The reason is very simple. These organizations and their organizers won't first take steps through Vote Out Incumbents Democracy to remove those incumbents in Congress opposed to them and such reforms. In other words, for whatever reasons, they fail to observe first principles.

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.

Omnibus Pork, Your Representative

Bi-partisanship is alive and well in Congress as Democrats and Republicans alike stepped up to the pork spending trough funded by your and my tax dollars. Seems most blogs want to focus on Obama's willingness to sign the bill, rather than your and my representatives who put the pork in there in the first place. Many incumbent Democrats and Republicans ran in 2008 on cutting wasteful spending only to renege on their promise 4 months after election. Why do we continue to reelect them?
