I wonder if this would have any effect
I recent months, I have heard countless complaints that our Democratic representatives in Congress, in State Government, Local Government, etc, are sitting on their hands and doing not much to counter the moves of the Repugnants. I was thinking recently that maybe these representatives are not hearing us.

So I think......what would happen if a convention were held with the delegates being those very same elected officials of ours. We sit them in their seats and tell them to listen and listen good.
We remind them that they represent US, not some corporation somewhere and its their job to do our bidding, not the bidding of some industry suit some. We remind them that they can be fired, either at election time or at recall time. Then we remind them that we sent them to Washington or to the state capitol because we believed they had guts and would protect us against injustice.

Then we let them know......prove they have the guts of cajones we thought they had and its time now to prove it or quit.

And we take names. Any elected official who does not show, will face recall.

Its probably just a pipe dream but by God, dream or not, something like this has to be done.
