Our Servile Congress

Why did our present Congress, which was voted in primarily to stop the Irag war, refuse to stop the Irag war? Because the private power of lobbies are now stronger than the power of our lawmakers and our courts. This is most alarming.

It seems that the fear of being fired, of being sacked, unemployed, or of even being rendered unemployable, eg,. “You will never work in this town again,” is the threat that made our Congressman accept their servile position with the lobbies. We can now substitute the term “master” for lobbies and “servant” for our Congressman.

Where is the courage to change this situation? Perhaps only the necessity of basic, outright survival can bring the courage to stand up to the lobbies and return to our original Constitution ( see Ron Paul.)
