The Congress of the US is again putting our country at risk due to their unwillingness to implement debt reduction measures. This should include increased import taxes on foreign goods, taxes on stock transactions, reduction of foreign aid, and increased taxes (elimination of loopholes) on large corporations with a target on the corporations who have stockpiled money from our tax funded bail-outs. The OWS should band together and occupy DC until the government gets their job done. Congress should do their job or step down immediately!!!!

OCCUPY DC!!!!!!!!

Potential Goals: I feel with technology there are ways we can take back control of our country. We need to get rid of $1 dollar=1 vote and get back to 1person=1vote. To do this we need to eliminate the power of lobbyists and reduce the power given to our politicians who are money grabbers who do inside trading (legal for politicians) and get bribes (thru there legal political fund raisers) and consulting etc.

To do this we should make the politicians only administrators and move to nationwide or at least a broader pool of electronic internet based voting - this could be all registered voters, this could be state senators and representatives. The power would move out of DC and reside back with the people or states. This would reduce the power of the lobbyists and allow the states to have more control.

I remember a few years ago a movement called G.R.I.P The idea was to Get Rid Of Incumbent Politicians. Just vote everyone out. Some of these folks have been there for more than 30 years.

Another way is term limits (1 term). If there is no chance you can get back in then the power of lobbying goes away. People listen to lobbyists because they help them get re-elected. Take that incentive away.
