Boot Out the Rubber Stamp GOP from Congress!

Washington Post: Staring Down the Barrel of The NRA
It's horrifying, really, to think that members of the Republican Congressional Caucus actually have the cojones to stand for re-election.
That is, they have to stand—until the White House, the NRA or the House & Senate GOP leadership tells them to sit down. And not a moment before.
You'd be hard pressed to find a single Republican House or Senate member who served the needs of his/her constituents over these last (and I'm being kind here by not counting the Clinton hunt) four years.
These GOPers return to the people of their districts or states with nothing to show—aside from a well worn rubber stamp—and whatever tiny sliver of the Homeland Security, Medicare, Budget and Highway Pork Barrel bills they could wrestle out of the clammy, iron hands of Tom DeLay or Bill Frist.
Vote.
It's up to you to take the rubber stamps out of their hands.
And elect Representatives for a change!
