Vote them out is right. And real. Term limits haven't worked. Campaign finance reform hasn't worked. There is only one ultimate power - the power of the electorate. If, over a period of 12 to 18 years we consistently voted anti-incumbent in every election at every level of government, real change would occur. I mean every office for three full cycles - NO MATTER HOW GOOD THEY SAY THE CURRENT GUY/GAL IS DOING. NO INCUMBANCY. Real turn over at every level. From Dog Catcher to President of the United States of America (If they still call it that in a few years).
And how about this - once you have served in government, you should not ever - EVER - be allowed to profit from that service by lobbying the pals and exploiting the system you oozed into. Once back to private citizen, that's it. No more hanging around - GO BACK TO WORK!
A little huffy perhaps - but there's just something about being ripped off to the tune of trillions by guys who walked out the door of Goldman-Sachs and into Treasury, or by the live in lover of banking CHAIRMAN Barney Frank - that gets my back up.
