Default Senators still demand user fees


"Neil Gould" wrote in message . ..
As I see it, "their biggest problem" is OUR biggest problem. Both parties
are warped beyond any practical use as far as tackling the most pertinent
issues of our time. Anyone that toes their parties' line, whether it be
Republican catering to religious radicals or Democratic notions of walking
away from the messes we created, should be rejected out of hand.

The discussion of user fees reflects an effort to maintain the status-quo,
where corporate interests trump those of the general public. The rhetoric
supporting fees exposes the disdain that politicians hold for us, as they
presume that we are too stupid to see through their ploys. Yet, the
"opposition" is too weak to force the real issues onto the table for an
honest discussion. And, I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that these
same folks get re-elected.

Maybe we need to organize a big fly-in to DC somewhere, be sure it is 'advertised by the straight shooting media (gag),
and bring our point to them in person.

Now you are talking... I love the idea! Large and/or visible
dissent to their good-ol-boy, backroom wheeling and dealing
seems to be the onyt thing they listen to.

Take a look at the recent amnesty fiasco. It's been quite a
while since I sent so many emails and made so many phone calls
over that issue. They felt the pressure and could pull a fast
one on the vast majority of taxpayers on that slick deal.
