Do you think it is ethically permissible to call a senator and urge him or her to vote against Ben Bernanke or to vote against healthcare and to lie about being a resident of their state? I don't, but the libertarian's remarks appearing below advocate just that.
Think about this the next time someone asks you to contribute to a political campaign outside of your congressional district, or in another state. How would you feel if someone else's money gave you representation which turned out not to represent you?
The rot which runs through American politics is not restricted to the politicians or "the system." It runs through every human heart, which is why the Founders frequently resorted to the principle of the separation of powers, to put checks and balances on the evil they knew was in every man. And it is also why they spoke favorably of the role played by religion, because they knew it was an indispensable support for the morality without which even simple honesty would not be possible.
Conservatism in a nutshell.
How You Can Help!
Whether they are in your state or not, please call all 5 undecided senators.
Concentrate on the senate. The house has no say on this.
What To Say: Make it simple so as to not tie up the lines ... "I am opposed to the reappointment of Bernanke [give your personal reason] and I think we should start all over on health care [or whatever you think about that issue]."
Be prepared to name your city and give a zipcode. Here is the Zip-Code Database.
Next call your senators with the same message.
Look up the phone numbers in the Online Directory For The 111th Congress .

Remember it takes 60 votes for confirmation. All it takes to send Bernanke flying is a change in a handful of undecided senators!
