Hey! That's MY table they're taking things off of!
That's my table with 4 leaves called "Oversight" "Accountability" "Checks and Balances" and "Rule of Law". Our reps are guests at our table and we feed them from the public trough.

I specifically deny them permission to ever say that ANYTHING pertaining to their legal obligation to act in the common interest and uphold the Constitution is off the table.

1. Congress is complicit
This is not a war of red v. blue but of rich v. poor and Congress ($160+ K annually) understands this all too well. Our problems go well beyond these differences; we are all victims of the economic concentration that exists in this country and in the world. Democracy without equality is tantamount to despotism.

Think...

What does freedom mean to you?

3. Thanks. Some good perspective.
I hear someone say something is off the table and it just punches one of my buttons.
