Bribes in Bills

Sadly it seems more often than not the size of the bills being passed is in large part so they can put bribes in them to get them to pass. Some call it pork, but they are nothing more than bribes with OUR money. They of course can't come right out and say I'll give the Senator of Louisiana $100 million dollars if she votes for my bill. They have to word it in such a way that it could be no other state than Louisiana without ever saying Louisiana and the like. They do this with other states as well. They will spend anywhere from 5-20 pages disguising these payoffs, bribes. by the time you've done that for all the people you need to bribe you have a bill full of stuff that has nothing to do with the intent of the bill and no money left to do the things the bill is supposed to do.

What are our representatives doing bribing other representatives with $100's of millions of dollars of our money?! This is an outrage and these leaders need to be called on what they're doing. Whether you want to call it a bribe or a payoff it still amounts to the same thing. When you're buying someone's vote it is generally considered a bribe.

When I was in law enforcement we were told not to even take a free coffee at a dunking donuts because it could be perceived as a bribe or a payoff to look the other way if the store owner ever did something wrong. Yet now we have it as a common practice in our federal government and all they do is look the other way.

I have Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, and Lynn Woolsey as my non-representing representatives. It seems it does not matter how many calls they get or how many people tell them we want something differrent they are quite determined to do what they want to do with no fear they will be kicked out of office.

I can not speak to other people's representatives but I know Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, and Lynn Woolsey, need to be kicked out of office at the first available opportunity. They do not seem to care one wit about the constitution. It seems like Obama they find it more of an annoyance and a hinderance than something they value as the foundation that made this country great.

If you are reading this and you have Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, and Lynn Woolsey, or some other equally bad representative spread the word to vote for anyone but then on the next election and trust me they'll be out of office and that will also put the people you vote in on notice that they will be gone too if they don't actually represent us... something Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, and Lynn Woolsey don't do at all. They have deluded themselves into thinking they get into office because of the job they're doing when in reality through gerrymandering they have rigged things such that it is very difficult to get rid of them. This is another thing that needs to go.

Let's get the Barbara Boxers, Diane Feinsteins, and Lynn Woolseys of the nation out of office and get real representatives in their place.
