Wednesday's RAIN - 27 Days To Go

More RAIN Support

RAIN Refresher: From now until the presidential election day we will begin each post with a review of the Remove All Incumbents Now (RAIN) campaign. A good rain washes clean all the road scum, dust and filth. We hope that a cleansing of Congress will result in the firing of the legislators who are part of the group that bailed out Wall Street with nearly a trillion dollars, at least 150 billion of which was blatant authorized pork by Democrats to appease Republicans who had previously rejected the bill then changed their vote allowing it to pass after being seduced by pork. We are not sure how much of the bailout, if any, was actually needed.

Response is overwhelming: We have heard from average working Americans across the country. Each as promised to forward our RAIN campaign to all on their respective contact list. Today we spoke to a friend and physician who not only agrees 100% with throwing the bums out due to a corrupted system, he suggested term limits of two terms be imposed on Congress and that the presidency be limited to one six-year terms as is done successfully in many other democratic country. The campaign continues.

No comment on the presidential debate: The debate, such as it was included enough Pabulum that we will not bother to comment on it. As we have stated before, we encourage you to vote as you please for the presidency but PLEASE vote every single incumbent out of office. Fire them and continue each election until the corrupt cronyism of the system has been purged. This is serious stuff so we will take a bit of a respite with some political quotes by politicians and pundits. We will begin and conclude with quotes by founding Father Thomas Jefferson: "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
Thomas Jefferson
