Here are a few of the things that have happened recently.
Wanting to hang the Ten Commandments in every classroom. They can't read and understand them themselves.
They have stopped teaching cursive writing. How soon before you are denied right (aka) the write-to vote because your signature doesn't match?
All Xs look the the same.
They haven't taught CIVICS for years, so no one, including some congress members, don't know how our government works.
Television is meant to lead you to their way of thinking. Ads, brainless programs, sportsif you're watching sports, you'll miss them picking your wallet. There is news (LOL) meant to lie to you while they enrich themselves.
Question: How many congress members and senators go to Congress as an average family member with a decent income? But then stay long after they serve your interests and focus on THEIR need to get rich by investing in the stock market based on inside information on what to buy and when to sell stocks. Those are the ones that will do anything to advance their own needs. Ask yourselves how many FINALLY leave Congress as millionaires. Bribery comes in many shades and from many sources. $$$$$$$$$$. That is the key.
Term Limits would start to reverse the state we have allowed Congress to become.
