Route 44 Toyota Sold Me A Lemon

You got the government you deserved. Now change it!

There have been a number of outspoken representatives at the State House who opposed the Patronage System that prevails.

Did voters notice and support those leaders who would have fostered reform?
Betcha can't name one!

Instead, voters follow, like sheep and endorse disasters such as the one describe below.



This isn't about 'One Party Rule,' because the Republicans, in spite of their small numbers, have had their scandals. This is about Democracy not being a spectator sport.

Most voters don't know their elected officials or more importantly, don't know their votes.

The current Senate Campaign highlights the willingness of so many to endorse and support candidates who:

1. Have no voting record such as Mike Sullivan or Gabriel Gomez [this isn't partisan]
2. Those such as Stephen Lynch who has voted against issues voters hold dear and supported losers such as the Keystone XL Pipeline, ignoring Global Warming.

Each election, supporters wave banners and rally 'round their candidate of choice, mostly it seems based on good looks and charm rather than solid records. Can we start to pay attention?
