"Pink Slips for Congress" Campaign Hits Dem and GOP Offices

Are you angry? Then do something about it. Don't be fooled by conspiracy theorists, like WorldNetDaily and the teabaggers. They are just trying to make money. You can solve the problem all by yourself. Here's how: impose a term limit on members of Congress. Any member of the House whose been in office more than 8 years (or 4 terms), and any Senator who's been in office 12 years (2 terms), vote them out in the next election. And you don't have to vote support someone from another party. Just vote them out in the primaries or general elections. Most people who in are Congress get re-elected every 2 or 6 years regardless of whether they do a good job or not. So it's up to you.

in reference to:

"A conservative Web site announced yesterday it has sent millions of "pink slips" to members of Congress, conveying citizens' dissatisfaction with certain legislative activity and the country's current anti-incumbent mood. Conservative site WorldNetDaily is running a campaign to send members of Congress a "pink slip" warning that if they vote for "government health care," "cap and trade," "hate crimes," or "any more spending," their "real pink slip will be issued in the next election." Since September, WorldNetDaily has offered to send pink slips to all 535 members of Congress on behalf of readers for a price of $29.95. The organizers of the campaign held a press conference on Tuesday to announce that it had sent out 5 million pink slips. The press conference, held on Capitol Hill, was attended by Republican politicians including Reps. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Steve King (R-Iowa) and Trent Franks (R-Ariz.)."
