Getting the Message Out
We are their employer; it’s that simple. Our members of Congress need direction when they have gotten lost in their party dogma. Most do not understand economic basics, nor do they know how to balance a budget.
The members of Congress have salaries and benefits that are normally reserved for senior corporate executives. Congress routinely exempts itself from laws that the rest of us are required to follow.
For the last 20 – 30 years Congress has sold laws that neither grow our economy nor create jobs in the United States. In recent years Congress has not been able to balance the federal budget, has created higher social service use due to higher unemployment and underemployment as a result of tax breaks, loopholes, subsidies and other rewards given to manufacturers to export jobs offshore.
The following petitions are written to address our concerns for the economic future of our country. Each of these petitions are based on the premise that under the 1st Amendment we have the right and obligation to question those we elect. Each petition should be written and supported on one or more Constitutional Articles and/or Amendments; when such Articles and/or Amendments support the demands in each petition, those should be cited.
When one person sends a letter by regular mail, email or even through social media, their Representatives are not likely to give a real response, not much more than words on paper that say nothing. One reason for this is that the members of Congress are confident that we won’t share their answers with others. We want to change that; when more than one person sends the same message, that means more Americans are aware of the obligations the members of Congress have. Not only do we want you to send these messages; we also want to share the answers you get in return.
We will share the answers you get on subsequent pages if you send them to us. To share letters you've written, responses to these petitions or letters you sent, please email them to petitions@reemployamerica.org, and we'll be happy to share.
