YES, IT IS WORTH THE EFFORT TO RECALL THESE PEOPLE–ESPECIALLY THOSE IN THE SENATE–many of whom have as many as four more years to continue their damage to our nation and its people!

Nine states may not sound like many.  However it represent 18 Senators and 50 members of the House.  Recalling these people would help to change the balance in BOTH Houses.  Furthermore, it would be a huge wakeup call to those who remain in Congress.

As reported earlier, Montana has begun efforts to recall all its federally elected officials.  The eight other states that allow citizens to recall federally elected officials are;  Arizona, Colorado, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, and Wisconsin.

My question is: What are the rest of you waiting for?  Start recall efforts now.  Wisconsin, you already have practice with Scott Walker.  Expand your effort to include the shysters in Washington DC as well!

If the  other 8 states who are able to recall their federal officials were to do so, this would make a difference in the balance of Congress. Perhaps a few of them are good guys, but if you know anything, you know that the majority of them are not.  They are liars and Wall Street sycophants who don’t care about the 99%.

The net worth estimates below are all, because of reporting requirements, likely to be on the low end.  Most of these shysters are much more Wall Street wealthy than they admit.  Also keep in mind that approximately 50 million Americans live in poverty today–interesting, isn’t it?  50 million is also the number of Americans who are estimated to be without health insurance but who will be required by law to purchase junk health insurance from Wall Street corporations in 2016 to satisfy legal requirements.

Keep in mind that while millions of Americans were losing their jobs and jobs over the past three years, the bums in Congress, were making hundreds of thousands (and in some cases, millions of dollars) from the Wall Street investments.  For the past 4 years Wall Street has made money for its investors by firing American workers and selling off assets and hoarding over $3 trillion dollars that doesn’t even belong to them in the first place.

Note:  all the ones with a double asterisk sold you out by voting for the H.R. 1540 National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal year 2012.  These should all be recalled now before they can do more damage. As far as the Senators go, suffice it to say that of all these states that allow recall, only the two Senators from Oregon stood up for the people and said no:  Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon; Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon.  When you look at the votes of those who voted your civil rights away, please notice the “bipartisan” quality of the votes.  Forget about “Democrat” or “Republican”.  They are one party–the Wall Street party.

According to H.R. 1540 National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal year 2012, the US military will have the power to detain Americans suspected of involvement in terrorism without charge or trial and imprison them for an indefinite period of time. Application of the law could almost completely destroy civil rights of Americans. Representatives of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) regard the new act as unprecedented assault on the rights and liberties of US citizens.

2. **Jon Kyl  Net worth at over $708,000 –  In 2010 his financial record shows that he had personal financial transactions of over $500,000.  You can bet that Kyl’s net worth is more than $708,000.   (Kyl is proven liar who made false statements that abortions make up “well over 90% of what Planned Parenthood does.”  The truth is that federal money cannot be used for abortion services at the women’s health clinics and Kyl knows this and lies anyway.  Planned Parenthood does not use a dime of federal money for abortions, nor are abortion services 90% of what Planned Parenthood does.)

1. **Carl Levin (D)  Are you kidding? Net Worth  $2, 360,000  (in 2008 his net worth was a mere $1,698, 553.  Levin has made over a million bucks off his Wall Street investments during this recession.

Another member of the Congressional Wall Street party.  You couldn’t find a better poster child to prove the phoniness of the two-party system than Carl Levin.  In 2006, 61,000 of the total population of Mr. Levin’s district were in poverty.  In 2010, 96,000 were in poverty.

Levin voted yes for H.R. 4853 the extension of the Bush Tax Cuts for the rich. 
The 2010 extension of tax cuts didn’t just continue the tax cuts for billionaires and millionaires enacted under George W. Bush. It expanded those tax cuts, allowing inheritance of estates of up to 10 million dollars tax-free and deepening special tax favors for investors. The legislation also undermined the integrity of Social Security by creating a new standard of low funding for the Social Security trust fund, exposing Social Security to new charges of being unsustainably funded.

Levin voted yes on Motion to Concur on Patriot Act 
On February 25, 2010, the House of Representatives passed an extension of Patriot Act provisions for spying on Americans without establishment of probable cause or so much as a demonstration that the person being spied upon is even tangentially connected to terrorism. This reauthorization of the most controversial of Patriot Act powers made it through the House hidden within Medicare legislations and contained no reforms whatsoever.

Levin co-sponsored the Korean Trade agreement (sponsored by Eric Cantor)–another unbalanced trade act that will ship 169,000 American jobs overseas and increate the trade deficit by $16 billion.
