"Most Americans Want a New Member of Congress
An overlooked finding in the new WSJ/NBC poll:(PDF) For the first time since 1994, a majority of voters would like to see their individual member of Congress defeated for re-election.
Q. In the 2006 election for US Congress, do you feel that your representative deserves to be reelected, or do you think it is time to give a new person a chance?
Deserves to be reelected: 37%
Give new person a chance: 51%"

What an opportunity for VOID to get 3rd party and Independents the shot in the arm they need to get elected.
By promoting voting out incumbents and incouraging the voter not to vote mainstream there's a good chance that a message can be sent to Washington that we aint goina take it no more.

Voting Out Incumbents for Democracy needs to become an important part any Voters Handbook. At least until government demostrates they are responsible and accountable.
Currently, the U.$. federal government is FOR SALE, which makes it rotten to the core.

As voters let's make sure that the incumbent Congressmen and Senators have the message prior to 2006 elections that "since you are not using that seat, we are going to put someone in it who will"
They may have the "chairs" but, we've got the "music".
