My advice is to do what people used to do in these situations: Next year is an election year. Let's vote all of them out. Vote the rascals out! Put all new people in office. That's the way the country was set up to begin with anyway. Nobody was ever supposed to make a career out of political office. Even George Washington only served one term and refused another one saying he didn't want to be a "king"
Our govt. today is run by career politicians. And THAT is a big problem.
The founding fathers set up our govt. to be representative of the people. And the original vision was that we would ALL serve at one point or another in our lives. We would ALL be in city, county, state, or federal govt. at one point. Instead, everybody from judges, to dog catchers, to sheriffs, to state govt. to federal govt are in office for life.

They are only career politicians because the people make them so. Members of the House must be re-elected every two years...members of the Senate every six years and the President every four years.
