CoNRAgress

Who are these people?
These 100 Americans
We have elected
Charged with providing structure
For our increasingly large, complex society

What are they about?
Themselves... not our children, not us

What have they accomplished?
Exacerbation of all major issues they have faced in recent years
A snarled voting process that confounds observers
Coining a new phrase, "scorched-earth obstructionism"
That characterizes the "Party of No" so well

What are they about?
Nothing... they are about nothing but self aggrandizement

What will be their place in history?
A reputation for pandering to large corporations and the 1%
The face of Democracy, tagged with obscenities
A highly effective death machine for unnecessary wars and killing our children
Masters of the politics of win... not the politics of right and wrong

What are they about?
Mindless prioritization and making the news

Are their Mothers proud of them?
Are the Fathers of our country proud of them?
What about the children of Sandy Hook Elementary School?  Are they proud?

Congressman... Senator...
Lose the damn jacket
Loosen the damn tie
Roll up your freakin' shirt sleeves

Get busy damnit
Act responsibly
Grow up
Give our children the good country they deserve
They need a chance to live

Or maybe we just need to kick your asses out of office...
