Here's an idea. How about some feedback. (Not my Vote Jar)
Edited on Wed Feb-09-05 12:49 AM by Selteri
We start putting together out own political power the way it should be, beginning with we the people.

What you need to do - Start a 'not my vote' jar. Every time a politician does something that you don't want them to do you put a small amount of money, a buck, ten bucks, a penny, the change in your pocket, it doesn't really matter how much, it's going to go toward whoever is putting the politician out of office.

There's a little more of what you have to do, but it's not that much. Start writing your politician, regardless of his status among the parties, every time they vote the way you don't want them to vote. Make the letter simple, remind them what vote, tell them why you don't like how they voted and inform them that you have placed X in a fund that will be donated to the person who will unseat them.

With enough letters flooding the office of every politician who does something that doesn't serve the people but serves the corporations or is not in your interest with a constant reminder to them by hoards of upset voters hitting them in the place where every American feels the sting, in their pocket book, let them feel the sting that we're feeling.
