Comment: It's over the top to replace the whole congress. by Quinn
Comment: They're all crooks by Keith
Comment: Talk about making the USA fail. The new members wouldn't know anyone, have any connections, or know what they were doing. Congressional leaders are there elected by the people for that reason, by the people. by Sandra
Comment: that is what elections are for; and if one area wants their rep. its none of my business by Janet
Comment: Lets start with the Speaker of the House and go down from there. by Dan

Comment: We need new young libertarian/conservative blood in Washington and frankly through out the entire United States. by Josh
Comment: the government is no longer "for the people, by the people" but has turned into "for he rich, by th rich". We need to replace them all (including the president) with people from ALL walks of life (working class, upper class and lower class. We ae no longer ALL bein represented and it needs to go back to what it was meant to be!! by Aeriana
Comment: Except for Brown, he hasn't been there long enough to be corrupted by the Beltway
Comment: They are out of touch with us people. They don't care about our voice anymore. They think they know whats best for us, when we totally disagree with their ideas!! They are making our lives worst every day!! by Bree
Comment: Who in Congress cares about the people? It's never about the people anymore and that's why so many people are turning their backs against Congress now. This is on top of our rights being protected. My understanding is Congress just does not care about the people and sees the U.S. Constitution as just a piece of paper and nothing else. I wish it were that easy to replace Congress with a new Congress that will actually care about the people. by Robert
Comment: Absolutely!! Since we don't have term limits... It is time to get some people in that are not part of the "machine"...someone that might have a clue what is going on outside the beltway. by JP
Comment: In a heartbeat,out with all the "Tax & Spend" Democrats! It's OUR money they're giving away. by Joe
Comment: They all love this country and try to do the best for the people.Most of the on this network will want President Obama and Demos replaced because the GOP has made it clear that they want to break the BLACK President. by Edward
Comment: YES AND I would like to have about 95% of ALL of our elected and appointed "officials" replaced by honest working class people who might actually "have a clue" about the reality of the world us lower forms of life(voters) inhabit.I hope,but I really doubt,that anyone will actually read my comment,not that it could actually matter. by James
Comment: We need to vote out the old scoundrels and get new scoundrels. Then let them stay for 2 terms and vote them out and get more new scoundrels. It seems that they lose their soul after that time. It is a shame that this is how they are perceived; even the ones who may be honorable have to go. Otherwise our Republic as we have known it is gone. by Betty
Comment: I would also add term limits to all. by Bryan
Comment: We have a congress thats not listening to the people. They forget whos paying their salary by Janice
Comment: Although I am a conservative, and believe there are some good representatives out there...I beleive the only way to get our government back on track is to get rid of all current members of government and start over. Government positions should be given to people who want to serve the people not serve themselves.
Comment: We need term limits! by Michael
Comment: The whole lot, stock and barrel! No more politians! We need fresh blood, Diane Medina would be a great start! by Myles
Comment: They're all crooked. The culture surrounding Washington has done nothing but fester and infect the fresh blood that has worked its way in. Most of all, I'm tired of their elitist attitude and working harder for the corporations than for the American people that voted them in. When agian will a vote be worth more than the campaign finances used to achieve it? According to the Justice Department: NEVER. May God Bless America because we're too complacent/lazy/dumb to help ourselves. by Calen
Comment: All except Sen Brown because he hasn't been in long enough to be corupt yet. by Naomi
Comment: We want them to work together to solve problems and pass health care.
Comment: While they are still smiling and happy about their lifetime jobs hand each a classic yellow slip and give them 24 hours to clean out their office. by Michael
Comment: i dont think you should blame or punish all of congress. by Mikael
Comment: Start fresh and get some people that don't have personal political agendas. Get rid of the lifetime politicians. by Nicole
Comment: The majority of them are under the say so of the lobbyist who provide them with God knows what! by Lino
Comment: This has got to be the most deceitful and back handed government ever.None of these office holders are the least bit honest, trustworthy or care about this country and its people at all. by Janice
Comment: I think it would send a well needed signal. You gotta hand it to Obama. He is waking us up. He is making everyone wake up to the fact that if we stop giving a damn about our country, our country can and will be taken away from us while we watch. The Massachusetts message to me is one that goes full circle. The Tea Party of 1773 occurred in Boston, Massachusetts. This week, a new tea party won its first election in Massachusetts. More to come on the horizon as the American voters wake up and take a stand for the values that make our country the greatest in the world. by Stan
Comment: We need a clean slate.
Comment: YES!!! Only after reducing their pay and giving them the same retirement plan they have given us. by S
Comment: They have lost sight of what they were elected to do. by Norma
Comment: having each member of Congressman list on their website (or a separate independent website) a list of all of their Earmarks, we can decide how our tax money is being wasted. by Jesse
Comment: wE NEED A 2 YEAR OR MAYBE 4 YEAR TERM ON THEM. THAT WAY THEY WANT MAKE A CAREER OUT OF BEING IN CONGRESS AND MAYBE GET SOMETHING DONE WHILE THEy ARE THERE INSTEAD OF FIGHTING AMOUNG THEMSELVES LIKE CHILDREN.OR WONDERING WHO IS GOING TO DONATE MONEY FOR THEM TO GET ELECTED NEXT TERM.
Comment: Replace all Congress, President, and VP. Get all of the progressive republicans and democrats out, and let's take back both parties and get the socialists and communist out of our country. Wake up America, our country is being attacked from within. I'm 30 and never thought that socialism would be an acceptable option.
Comment: I believe 12 years in Congress would be enough, and limits should be retroactive! by Mike
Comment: BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT DOING THEIR JOB AND THEY ARE KNUCKLEING UNDER TO OBAMA. HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED! by Jack
Comment: We need the goverment cleaned. We need people who understand that you cant spend money we dont have. These people have forgot who they work for. These people are a blight on America. We want them out of our lives. by alton
Comment: Yes, they all need to be replaced "except the new appointee Scott Brown" -- they have forgotten who pays for their lives of luxury! I say cut 'em down, toss 'em out and bring in new fresh blood and we the people should demand they have no gov't benefits that we the people don't have! We pay those dastards and then they capitalize on their positions and take payola from corporate America -- let's outlaw that and keep a tight watch on their personal fnances to ensure the corruption stops -- We want the same insurance -- and none of them including that plastic faced Pelosi and pip squeak Reid need private planes let them all fly coach! by Nell

Comment: Any member serving over 8 years need to go; when in office over 8 years they lose touch with those who put them in office; and they encourage a nation of debt. by Desi
Comment: Do this by term limits via an amendment to our constitution. A full membership change will evolve over a few years. Term limits should eliminate the old-guard, what's in it for me mentality of the members who feel they are elected for life and forget the American people. by Kathleen

Comment: I don't think it would do any good. The democrats and republicans would still be like children that can't play together. There may be a very few that think of the people, but the majority only think of themselves. by Karen
Comment: I would gladly hand each of them their kicked out message. by Lawrence

Comment: Barny Frank,Al Franicin and Palosie. by Jim

Comment: They all need to go Dems and Reps both. A new requirement for either house would be no attorneys can be elected, we need some common sense in congress and get back to the basics that this great country was founded on. by Richard
Comment: We need what I call the common Man or Woman from all walks of life..... by Michael
Comment: they need to wake up and hear the people that elected them. by Scott
Comment: The longer they are there, the more coorupt they get. Both Democrats and Republicans alike. They have nothing to keep them honest. by Lori
Comment: I think that all the members of congress should be replaced, they no longer represent the public all they represent is the special interest groups and their own personal agendas.

Comment: I support term limits and a return to Senators being elected by the State Legislature as it was spelled out in the Constitution. by John
Comment: I'm in favor of replacing every incumbent politician -- regardless of position and length of service. by james
Comment: Not only would I replace all of the members of congress, I would replace everyone from the "president" on down! These people have forgotten who pays their wages and are only looking out for their own interests instead of doing their jobs while digging deeper into our pockets. I am also including in state and local government in this!!! We, the people, are the CEO's and they are OUR EMPLOYEES! Yet we are treated like idiots by a bunch of elitists who can't stick to a budget and have nearly bankrupted our country. In fact, these politicians are OUR spoiled rotten children who look to us for money and expect us to just give it up to them. And like undisciplined children, we need to cut their allowances as they should be punished for NOT doing what they are supposed to do. One of the reasons we left Europe in the 1700's was because the europeans were abusive with their taxes, etc. Now this so called gov't. wants us to be like the europeans and wants to bring back overtaxation like king George did then. They are not royalty...just spoiled rotten brats who need to step out of our lives and let us fail or succeed on our own. This is why our country was started. They need to be fired and replaced and punished by cutting any automatic retirement/benefits and live off of what they have now. Let's see if they can live on a budget without my money and the money of working taxpayers! GET RID OF THEM! by Karen
Comment: I would FIRST replace the man calling himself president. There is a Federal suit filed by an Attorney in Wash DC alleging our elected president gained that office fraudulently. Because he was actually born in Malaysia, not the US. The president has never produced any documentation proving he was born on US soil and until that happens his office is suspect. His certificate of birth is NOT by law a "Birth Certificate" granting him US Citizenship. by Aubrey
Comment: replacing every member of congress and stopping the use of our great military machine would have dramatic positive global effects, truth. by daniel
Comment: Every single one of them, in both parties. by Leighanne

Comment: We URGENTLY need term limits for Congress! by Peter
Comment: They need a reality check. They forgot that they represent the people because they are not listening to anything we are saying. by Cindy
Comment: Absolutely, no need to ask twice. And, how soon can we do it?
Comment: Every elected official should be ousted every 8 years. Remember the words "Absolute Power corrupts Absolutely!" Once they are elected they know they are not going to get voted out so,they do as they please. by George
Comment: All members currently seem to be involved in some secret society or fraternal order that is looking out for there own best interest and not the interest of the American people. They have lost sight of the roots of this country and are making up the law as they go with little regard for our constitution and our human rights by chris
Comment: Replace Them and keep them from running again anytime in the next 10 years. by Larry
Comment: Total Revamp of the system. Especiallythe part where they don't pay socail security and are paid their yearly salary for retirement.
Comment: because I think that having new members, hopley they will work for the people and get laws passed instead of having us wait around.and democrats and republicians not agreeing does not make it easy for us. by Donah
