The Republic: Traitor

Millions of Americans are out of work, lining up to get food stamps and all your ‘representatives’ can do is defend the gun industry, their friends in the health insurance industry and big business…” “I will not stand for such accusations.” Barked Senator Holt. “It’s time for a real change.” Clayton ploughed on. “I say it’s time for real democracy in our land. Thus I encourage ever loyal American to demand that a nationwide referendum be held, at the time of the next congressional elections. This referendum will give the people the power to abolish the Congress and the Senate for up to two years.” That truly silenced the Senators. “By removing the Congress and Senate this will allow an interim body to repair our Nation’s capital. This interim body… let us say… a Presidential cabinet or council will be mandated to fix the system itself. Deal with such matters as the filibuster, pork barrelling and the Gerrymander. It will put limits and conditions on lobbying by special interest groups. Deal with the legalized corruption that is endemic within government. Pass laws that will allow ALL Americans… including Democrats… (he couldn’t use the word Niggers in public) to vote without interference. Deal with all the violations of Congress upon the people… There will be no more leaving government vacancies until a new president takes office. A president nominates a candidate for an office the Congress will have three months to endorse or reject the nominee. If the Congress refuses to act in the time frame then the nominee is automatically appointed.” Clayton knew he had well over two hundred Department heads and political vacancies due to the former Congress’s refusal to carry out its duties. “We’ll fix Government so that it will work for all Americans once more and not just the oligarchies. My fellow Americans it is time to save our government… even if we have to abolish it.” You could hear a cockroach scuttle across the floor.
