Frank says: "Someone needs to create a list, sorted by state, of all the members of congress. We could carry it to the polling booths and make sure none of them are ever re-elected." Just how many states do you vote in anyway? Your name isn't Wendy Rosen is it? Im just joking.... Lets go back to my original post, Please remember this folks, Andy Harris should never be returned to elected office again. I know I didn't vote for this "useless turd" and I beg you folks not to vote for him either. He did this same crap when he was a Maryland State Senator. He offered up his pay for charity during a state furlough, yet he never produced the donation check, even when challenged to do so by another state senator! He is an obstructionist who is willing to cut his nose off to spite his face. At that, he excels. And for that, we get to feel the pain. Einbierbitte, Go file for unemployment. That is exactly what that program is supposed to do, help those who through no fault of their own are not working. You, me, none of us has any idea how long the "useless turds" can keep this up. I imagine You still have a mortgage that is not on furlough. You still have food to buy and lights to keep on. Best wishes to you and yours during these difficult times.

You can also go to senate.gov house.gov and put in whatever state and the congressional idiots or that state and their contact information will pop up.

The American public has become complacent or rather lazy. I would be a millionaire if I got a dollar every time is heard i am not voting cause my vote doesn't count. As sad as that statement seems it is true. The true pulse of America seems to be they are ticked off by the current affairs. But instead of doing something about it they would rather stick their head in the sand and let others try and sort this mess out. United we stand. Divided we fall. And we are falling hard. I am naive about a lot of things but I truly believe that we the people have the power to take this country back. Get rid of the undesirables in public office and govern ourselves back to where we need to be. Democracy works. And what we have right now is not a democracy. Abolish the political parties that's the first step. Remove all incumbents from office. Subject then to the rules they imposed on us but exempted themselves and see how fast they change their tune.

Seriously, if someone handed me a list on the way in the the polls and said "Here is a list of all members of congress currently serving", I can assure you none of them would get my vote, or a lot of other peoples!

Part of the problem... most Americans believe "their" Congressman or Senator is doing great by them. It is the "other" ones from the other 49 states that are the problem!! Why do we see the same ones get voted back in year after year and we see the same here in Maryland!!!

Why do we see the same ones get voted back in year after year and we see the same here in Maryland!!! Anyone thinking Owe'Malley was good for Maryland was simply voting along party lines. An intelligent person making an unbiased decision would never have voted for him. I think there were several heated debates about him on this forum on what was going to happen in this state. Now it's happening and everyone acts surprised. Winter is coming and I'll have to wear gloves because Owe'Malleys hands are so far in my pockets!

Sadly, I agree with you. Harris will be re-elected. He is a career politician. He served 12 years in the State senate and now 4 years in the US Congress. I bet nobody here can name one thing he has done in those 16 years. Yet, they reelected him. Just goes to show, sheeple are in both parties. He had an R next to his name and got reelected. Heck, for the first time in QAC we have an all Republican commission... our income taxes were jacked up to the highest rate allowed by law in the State of Maryland. Our property taxes were jacked up too. So much for that common misconception that Rs are all about lowering taxes! This commissions efforts are completely opposite of that premise.

Not to be argumentative, but I believe the ballot tells you which candidate is the incumbent.
