The Plan




A Problem? The plan is simple. “If you want change. Change leaders.” We are getting a new President why not get a new Congress as well. With the approval rating of Congress at an all time low, now is the time for change, real change.

Political science is a science. It is by no means an exact science however. Whenever people are involved there will never be an exact science unless something happens that takes away that essence of humanity that makes life so interesting. This year people are extremely upset about two issues. These issues are the damage Illegal Aliens are doing and the damage being caused by the high price of gas. Among political scientists issues are considered one of the weaker criteria of the strength of a candidate. The intense reactions of Want Change? Change leaders. people strongly indicate that this is the year for a new chapter to be added to the political science books. The media is trying to divert attention away from these issues to protect their friends in Washington. Are we going to let them get away with it?

The main goal is to identify incumbents that can be targeted for early retirement. To do this we must find incumbents that are vulnerable with credible candidates running against them. The tables below list incumbents with “D” and “F” grades on immigration. A quick glance at the tables shows that there are mainly Democrats listed. At first it was thought that NumbersUSA might be biased. An indication the ratings are valid is that if you Google the incumbent’s name followed by a comma and illegal immigration (name, illegal immigration) you usually get plenty of information to back up the rating. The links in the tables are to web pages with more details to evaluate if the challengers have a chance against these incumbents. Some of the entries have different background colors. The background colors indicate the following:
Turquoise – The challenger has best chance of an upset. Volunteer or donate.
Orange – The challenger has better than average chance of an upset
Red – Special case. Read comments in comments area of link.

The following is a link to a ten-minute video on forms of government. It shows that ours is the best form that has been devised so far for keeping a ruling class from evolving. Unfortunately there is no form that can keep a ruling class from evolving without intervention from the people being governed. Changes can be made to make the amount of intervention less frequent. As stated elsewhere there is no need even talking about improvements and changes until “We the People” get rid of the ruling class that we have now. The vast majority of the leaders we have now have proven themselves to be poor leaders and few of the many changes needed will be accomplished until they are gone.
