18. repeat after me...no federal elected official.....
can be held to the will of the people because they can operate however they wish without fear of being removed from office until election day and even then all of the cards and more are in their favor.

3 ways for a federally elected official to be removed from office

1. they die
2. they resign
3. they are impeached - last time that happened in congress was a
senator from tennessee in 1797 -

Our country is for the corporations, by the corporations and bugger the common citizen.

how hard is it for these ticks of society to be removed?
