Report Card for Congress-Would They Pass?~Dianne Humphries

I believe that each and every sitting Representative and Senator on Capitol Hill needs a report card. How many of you actually know what your Congressman has done for you~the constituents?

With all of the turmoil swirling around the Legislature since January of this year, it seems to me that this country is getting nowhere fast.

There are a lot of distractions going on with AIG, bailouts, etc. But, what has Congress and Obama done for this country other than spend money? I am in total agreement with Glenn Beck on this one: if the soldiers who are in the field must be evaluated upon their return, why not evaluate the politicians?

Taking Glenn’s 6 basic values as they relate to an evaluation for a soldier in the field, I have reworked them as they should apply to our illustrious politicians:

1) Loyalty~someone who bears true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the United States and thier constituents.

2) Respect~a politician who treats people as they should or want to be treated

3) Selfless Service~someone who puts the welfare of the nation and their constituents before their own needs

4) Honor~a politician who lives up to, and actually has some, moral values

5) Integrity~a politician who does what is right legally and morally and not just because it is “re-election” time.

6) Personal Courage~a politician who faces fear or adversity and does the right thing in spite of whether he wins or loses the next election.
