I realize this is a photo forum, but this is important to us!

Congress will be voting on internet censorship. Google and many other sites are protesting. Go to Google.com and vote.

You'd think they would have more important things to do. Like fixing this economy. We can fix Congress>>
No incumbants can be re-elected! PERIOD!

It is not strictly censorship. It is a mess of a bill and plenty of people do not think it through, but it is also about IP Rights.

We had a good run. Piracy was never punished as it should have been punished and we are seeing a reactionary attempt to set things right. The chickens have come home to roost.

The same for the president. Four years and out. If a president can't feather his nest in four years that is their problem.

I'm with you. If they're in office...get 'em out. Send Congress a message.
There was an article on Yahoo News the other day that 84% of the population doesn't trust Congress. I'm one of the 84%!

Not that I am condoning our president, "by no means" the republican controlled congress really hasn't allowwed him to feather his nest.
Also if Romney is the other candidate, "Do we want a president who is a CORPORATE RAIDER!" That is a person who ran corporations out of business and put people out of work, to out-source jobs to China, for his company's profit.
Plus, on the news last night they verified most of his business and investments are through the Caymen Islands. A known "offshore" tax shelter. The news showed his mailboxes there.
The country still hasn't recovered from ole Georgy Bush and his Wall Street theiven buddys.
I don't like Obama either, but lets not cut off our nose to spite our face! Change Congress and we will really have "CHANGE" for the American middle class.

I wasn't referring to just President Obama. I mean anyone who is president. If they can't get it done in 4 years they don't deserve to be there. As far as congress is concerned one two year term and out. That way they aren't as liable to be bought and paid for by big business.

The last two years of Busch and the first two years of Obama was a Deno congress and this term is a Demo Senate and nothing got done and the Demos spent us into the highest debt ever.Throw out every Incomebit.
First one to go is the Pres. (change for the worse) He had two years of all Demo and look where we are. My Ins. went up over $500 a month due to his health bill and my business has so many costly restrictions I will probably retire early because of it all. He can't lead and does not know what to do. He tells lies and half trouths. Time to correct a mistake...
Almost forgot: my Dr. will drop me when I turn 65 due to the health bill.
I am back - Just because Obama says it does not make it true!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you on the healthcare farse...Giving healthcare to all the indigents(like they don't get enough for free already)(on us taxpayers).....I'm hoping it will eventually be repealled. It's driving my healthcare costs way up too.
Remember I said I didn't care for him(Obama). I'm just not sure if Romney is the answer. Like when Obama got elected....It was just a lack of (good)choices.
