serving in Congress rather than an incumbent. ask, do they even check the voting records of the candidates for which they support? ause he cannot write legislation that he can get passed. asked why one will consider voting for Kucinich. seemingly desperate time, let us mull over giving a little leeway. hose who voted for the first “PATRIOT Act” voted for something that was a last-minute exchange, “hot-off-the-press,” something no one had a chance to review. resentative Peter DeFazio tried to make congress well aware of that fact: “…it just came off the Xerox machine. hese are critical issues, this is what we are fighting for, these areour civil liberties!” Did anyone heed his “warning?” Only one Senator, and sixty-six Representatives voted against the original PATRIOT Act. send to represent us let us down so egregiously? hose, in the above summary, who supported the USA PATRIOT Reauthorization bill. hese people are not representing “change.” It is just more of the same rhetoric we have heard a thousand times before. hese few, especially in view of the fact that they all voted to trash our freedoms via their support for these two invasive acts. assed the House, but died out, the clever author, Representative James Sensenbrenner (author of the bill and sponsor of both USA PATRIOT Acts), attached it, as a rider, to H.R. Senate can declare a war, the Senate, as a whole, should be voting against everything that pertains to any military spending to support a war they never authorized. wise, the House of Representatives should do the same, as there really isn’t a war to fight, since its counterpart in the Legislative Branch has not declared it. seen any coverage of any of these people? resort to something, as the mainstream media ignores him almost completely. cinich has to rely on something else, as well, as the print and television media are consistently leaving him out of the news and debate circuit. citizens going to make an informed decision if they can’t hear the other candidates?And what about Cynthia McKinney? seems a shame the Presidency of the United States is now, more than ever, a popularity contest. seems to be more about name recognition than anything else.Secondly, to be a candidate for the people, you must have millions in funds to run your campaign if you expect to get any exposure. hese two points, alone, our country leaves out many of “we-the-people.”It is time we recognize, first and foremost, that by allowing the mainstream media to “pick” our candidates, we are not getting the choices we deserve. guide the vote, again robbing us from choices we deserve.
