I'm pretty politically ignorant, at times thinking of myself more as apolitical than anything, but I'm reading David Foster Wallace's "The Pale King" and it's re-awakening my political side.
I've been Googling and trying to think of something I can do, but am falling short.
Do I call my state's representatives?
Do I send them letters or emails?
What can I do?
Unfortunately, American congressmen cannot be recalled, so the only way to remove congressmen who are deliberately trying to break the democratic process would be through impeachment. While I suspect most Republicans would like to clean house and get rid of the Tea Partiers, I doubt they would attempt to do so this way.
I'm afraid the only thing you can do is remember to never vote to put someone who claims to hate government into the government. They just might be telling the truth.
