Real Ethics Reform.
The people spoke in 2006 that we wanted real change in Washington. What did we get? We got impeachment off the table, the realization that many democrats approved of torture, and are still rubber stamping the administrations assault on the constitution, including impeachment is off the table Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
This week there is a possibility that the foxes will have to give up guarding the hen house. That is if we put the pressure on them and make them accountable. This week congress is going to vote on a resolution (H. Res. 895). This law will for the first time ever institute, an independent Office of Congressional Ethics with the power to file and investigate ethic complaints. The independent panel’s reports will be made public, and new timelines and reporting requirements will stop the Ethics Committee from burying complaints for years without action.
It is important for every citizen that loves freedom to call their congressman and insist that they support this very important legislation.
As it stands now only members of Congress can file, investigate and judge ethics complaints against their colleagues. Guess what no complaints were filed for seven years even while indictments were flying like a swarm of locusts over a crop of ripe corn, and congressman like the Duke Cunningham were being hauled off to jail.
We must throw the foxes out of the hen house and hold these SOB’s accountable.
Call, email, write snail mail, and fax your congressman and tell them you expect them to make this the People’s House of Representatives by supporting (H. Res. 895). To find your congressman click on this link.
