NOT SO FAST!!! NOVEMBER IS COMING!! AND YOUR GOING!!! CLICK THE PIC TO GO TO OPEN CONGRESS.ORG AND RESEARCH YOUR REPS RECORD
The current make-up of the U.S. House of Representatives is 256 Democrats, 178 Republicans and one vacancy. All members of the House will face re-election in 2010. This is a huge number of people and I would be at it a week getting this information to post here. I urge you to (as much as I hate to)go to Wiki and look up your Congressman to see how long they have been in office. I do have the list of Senators who are up and it is posted below. I am of the opinion that there are many of the incumbents that must go because they have literally “worn out their welcome (or usefulness)” because they are nothing more than fat cat career politicians who have lost sight of their real purpose and job in DC. It is “We the People”, not “We the Congress”.
