Our elected officials work for us...
...and if they forget that, I like the idea that we can send them packing and find someone who does listen to us.

Tea partiers in New Jersey have moved one step closer to ousting a sitting U.S. senator that they say has shown "a total disregard for the people's wishes."
New Jersey Tea Parties United and the Sussex County Tea Party have joined forces to try an unprecedented way of sending a message to Washington: removing a senator through a recall vote.
A three-judge appellate panel ruled today that the New Jersey secretary of state must accept the tea partiers' notice of intent to recall Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., and allow their joint recall committee to begin collecting the voter signatures needed to put the senator's name back on the ballot, two years before his term is supposed to end.
New Jersey is one of a handful of states that allows for the recall of its congressmen, thanks to a constitutional amendment New Jersey voters approved by a 3-to-1 margin in 1993.

White House: "Tea Partiers are wrong!"
I can't imagine this statement is going to go over real well...
from: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/13/axelrod-says-tea-party-protesters-wrong/
The White House has a message to the tens of thousands of protesters who railed against big government during a rally in Washington Saturday: You're wrong.
White House senior adviser David Axelrod said Sunday that the protesters, part of the "tea party" movement, do not represent the views of the broader public when it comes to health care reform.
"I don't think it's indicative of the nation's mood," Axelrod said on CBS' "Face the Nation." "You know, I don't think we ought to be distracted by that. My message to them is, they're wrong."

Compromising Republicans, sit up and take note
from: http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=96019
Polls released by Rasmussen Reports this week demonstrate that – at least within the Republican Party – sitting incumbents who vote for increased government, taxes and federal bailouts risk voter backlash in the next election.
Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., for example, is one of only three Republicans in Congress to vote for President Obama's $787 billion stimulus plan. According to a Rasmussen poll released this morning, the 28-year senator now trails his 2004 GOP primary rival Pat Toomey in the polls by 21 points: 51 percent of Pennsylvania Republicans say they'd vote for Toomey in a 2010 primary, while just 30 percent would support Specter.
A separate Rasmussen poll demonstrated that 58 percent of Specter's Republican constituents cited his support of the stimulus package as reason for their waning support.
I have long wondered why any Republican would think that trying to play the middle of the road would ever win an election. I knew that John McCain would never win. Why? Because many Republicans would never vote for him because of his perceived compromises on important issues to conservatives. And, on the other side of the aisle, most liberals liked McCain until they found someone more liberal. He didn't stand a chance. It doesn't seem like rocket science to me; I wonder why guys like Specter don't get it.
