The "OCCUPY WALL STREET" and the"99%ers" should define common goals and ideologies,then actively seek to expand the number of average citizens,who,like these two groups are sick and tired of "being taken to the cleaners" by the people elected to "represent the interests" of the people that they SUPPOSEDLY work for.We have seen civil unrest in the Middle East and elsewhere, and maybe, just maybe it is time for the citizenry of the United States to TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY.Why is it that we citizens continue to allow special interest groups,and the 1%ers to rule the roost?The citizens of this country need to wake up and do what needs to be done, which is to TAKE BACK the power that we have GIVEN to people who place their private agendas ahead of the will of the constituents. LOBBYISTS SHOULD HAVE NO PLACE IN WASHINGTON,D.C. SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS SHOULD HAVE NO PLACE IN WASHINGTON,D.C. POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEES SHOULD HAVE NO PLACE IN WASHINGTON D.C. These groups should not BE ALLOWED to do any more than any private individual,which is to call their SUPPOSED LEADERS,and voice their opinion.ANY politician,caught with representatives of any of the previously mentioned groups,should be cause for IMMEDIATE removal from office and imprisonment.Taxpayers should set pay and benefits as they see fit,and raises should be based on merit.Remember all Federal employees work for us,not in spite of us.The "SMASH AND GRAB" mentality of Federal employees,should be stopped immediately!THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, regardless of what "PARTY" you are affiliated with,need to take the reins and overhaul the system.The "STATUS QUO-MUST GO."

Re: Is the interaction of lobbyists and legislators a conflict of interest? (from RfC Request board)
I would like to pose a question that has no easy answer.Why is it legal for lobbyists to engage Congressmen & Representatives??Isn't this practice a conflict of interest? Legislators DO NOT vote with the best interest of the people who elected them, at heart.Although,not EVERY elected representative falls into the catagory of greedy and serving their own best interests,the sad fact is that most legislators are looking out for themselves.I believe that the American voters deserve better representation,actually I ask myself WHY DON'T the voters eliminate the Legislative Branch altogether?No more House of "Representatives?"No more U.S.Senate.Let registered voters advocate for themselves!I fully understand that I am over-simplifying the problem/solution,but we as voters,can't do any worse than those who are "supposedly" working on our behalf. For the time being,let us draw up a bill to outlaw lobbyists,through binding legislation,which(if approved)would take effect immediately.This type of action is completely within our rights as citizens,and would be an action whose results would be both money saving and a catalyst for renewed interest in the politics of OUR nation.Registered voters in control of a government which has ignored the will of the people for far too long.A novel idea or a dream?Eyerishiam (talk) 19:31, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
