Think Tank Suggestion

Just yesterday a friend of mine posted an article by Ezra Klein from washingtonpost.com. The article came with this comment by my friend:

"Ezra Klein is doing the best work out there in making a case for why Democrats should be spend the next few years building support in Kentucky so they can defeat Mitch McConnell. He's the single most destructive force in American politics and he ain't never gonna change. He gotta go. Of course, the likelihood that Dems know this is slim since they suck."

With that quote, I submitted a request to my "Think Tank" to provide the blueprint needed to assist the Democrats. Every Democrat in the Senate and Congress should push for "Constituent Polls" to be conducted on every Senator and Member of Congress’ respective page. The poll would look something like this:


I, for one, get tired of hearing Representatives say they are representing the interest of their constituency, yet continue to vote to the contrary. So, in addition to the Political Aptitude Test I suggested in early April, let’s really bring about transparency in the process in which our elected officials operate.

This way we can see if Mitch acts in the interest of the citizens of Kentucky, or in the best interest of himself.

Disclaimer: Eleanor Holmes-Norton's page will have a "Constituents Response" poll, but will not have a Rep. Vote ledger.
