As we get closer to the 2010 mid term elections, I believe it is VERY important to know your Senators and Representatives. Please remember, they work for us. We pay them. They are supposed to represent us! When you go to the polls, remember what you expect of them. Remember their promises. As you watch all of the campaign mud slinging, remember that these are supposed to be adults. Who is representing you best? Not who can take care of you best but who is representing your opinions, views, and needs.
Please watch this very short (2:59 minute) video and you will see why you should vote for Democrats!

Yeah I do remember that they work for us and that we pay them to represent us. And guess what I personally am tired of the Republicans and Democrats expanding the power of the Government beyond its consitutional Limits and think it time to fire both parties 100% of them need to be gone by 2012 not a single Republican or Democrat should hold public office period. There needs to be a message sent to them. We want change and we have realized it won't come from either of your parties so Bye don't come back we don't want you around anymore. There are tons of other parties that can do a better job than these two and its time we actually gave these parties a chance. I personally am going to vote for the libertarian party!

darkjoev I see from your profile that you are only 18 years of age so that means you were not old enough to vote in the last presidential election! IMO your are still wet behind the ears and near to get some life experience before making such choices.
Although I also think that the Libertarian Party holds some very tempting values.

Very funny. I like the line "Remember the arrogance..." That sums it up pretty well. Both parties are horrible, but the Democrats have annihilated our laws and the Constitution since taking power. They have truly shown a statist, elitist attitude that I've never seen before in politics. Here's for change in 2010.

Actually, I DO know my Senators and Representative and I'm quite happy with my Rep. and my mind is totally made up about the one Senate seat up for grabs in November. I tried to watch the video thinking there may be captions so I could make sense of it even without sound, but I couldn't get it to play for me. However, without knowing just what was said I can still tell you this much...nothing and nobody could ever sway me to vote for the gang that defends Wall Street banks and considers the economic crisis an "ant", apologizes to BP, calls those who are unemployed through no fault of their own "lazy" and "spoiled" and blocks funding for our homeless veterans, even those with young children!
