Activist wants to boot out everyone in Congress

The real solution is voter imposed term limits for those that have been in Congress too long. Throwing them all might serve a certain blood lust. But it is impractical. The American support term limits are already in place many states. And, of course, the Presidency is term limited. It is not a panacea. But it is a good first step. And you have the power. Come November vote out every member of the House that has "served" 8 years, or 4 terms. And in the Senate remove those that have been in office 12 years or 2 terms. You can't have limited government without limited terms.

"John Bitter is frustrated with people in Congress and the special interests that seem to bankroll them. His solution: Replace them all with regular citizens. "These guys are not any smarter than you and me," said Bitter, owner of Johnny Burrito's restaurant in uptown Charlotte. "We can run the country."Monday night he expects to be among those at a meeting hosted by GOOOH - "Get Out of Our House" - a group formed to evict all 435 members of the U.S. House. The group, pronounced "Go," is promoted by talk radio and conservative commentators such as Lou Dobbs. Led by Texas businessman Tim Cox, it has captured the attention of people fed up with the system.After Cox appeared recently on Fox News' "Fox & Friends," a spokesman for the group said 80,000 viewers went to GOOOH's Web site.Cox, who plans to be at Monday's GOOOH meeting in Charlotte, said Friday the group has 50,000 supporters on its way to a goal of a half-million."The key reason is we're nonpartisan," he told the Observer. "We have a $12 trillion (debt) and everybody sees the way we're spending the money like a drunken sailor. The people of America of both parties understand this is wrong and we can't sustain it.""
