Talk about honor, integrity and ethics; loyalty to your country. This is a Congress in which the large majority of its members no longer adhere to those time-honored principles. Corporate money, power and influence rule the day in the halls of this Congress. Its appalling behavior represents a dark stain on our democracy.

What in the world can the American people do to get these members of Congress to do their jobs, to earn their salaries by working on legislation that is critically important to this country? That's a question that is very difficult to answer and it's the main reason why this country is regressing so badly and in such a state of decline.

Would you like to be a member of this Congress, have this terrific job, a great salary, benefits, and perks and have to do absolutely nothing to hold onto it? Personally I could never do that because my conscience would let me know that I am betraying my country and its people by completely failing to carry out the responsibilities with which they have entrusted me. I would feel dirty and ashamed at what I have allowed myself to become.
