Hit their paychecks and then will begin to follow law.

The judges are just going to rule against We The Poor People, so change them out as often as possible. They often only go by the written laws when it's expedient, for THEM. <br /> The longer they are in power, the more they realize they can expand it. They become politicians!! <br /> SURE, the public is affected by the media, by name recognition/celebrity. He who can afford the most advertising wins. TV ads are priced way out of the range of folks or small businesses, so big corporations and other special interests rule. <br /> Every step of "law enforcement" has become politicized; anyone who gets power seems to want more. <br /><b>UNELECT THEM ALL; VOTE FOR NO INCUMBENT.</b> This is why ballots usually don't indicate who the incumbent is, or folks might vote that way, rather than by name recognition.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02808884177035705472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-23831654944145978462018-03-03T09:04:38.606-06:002018-03-03T09:04:38.606-06:00The elimination of straight-ticket voting will hel...The elimination of straight-ticket voting will help.<br /><br />Otherwise, I like New Mexico's retention election system.Gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075757287807731373noreply@blogger.com
