I like the idea of Vati, within reason. There are a few, and only a very few incumbants that I would not like to see go. There are also some I would like to keep out. Look who never opposes Bush, assume they are as stupid as he is or subject to blackmail by his family. Kick em' out. Perhaps we need a rule like vote to impeach or we impeach you.

Comment on: Blog Post 'Why we must Vati.'
tion. The majority of our Congressmen and Senators have absolutely no fear of losing their offices. They know that party loyalty [be it Republican or Democrat] of their constituency will assure their perpetual re-election. In the whole Senate you are likely to have only 5 or 6 seats [in the Congress 25 or 30 seats] that are not securely locked-up by one, or the other, political parties. And Richard and I agree on one thing: Nothing is gained by sending an occasional new representative to Washington. In short; they are simply gobbled up by the system. They are introduced to pac-money, and the powerful party leaders [Party Lords] and end up cuddling up to Big Business. And voting for legislation that enhances the Conglomerate's bottom line, to the determent of their constituency, of U & I. Now, a large percent of Congressmen and Senators win their seats by very small margins, less than 5%, so if just 10% of the people Vati, we would get nearly 20% of our Representatives. If we could generate as much support as Ross Perot did, we would kick out close to 90 of the House and Senate. But more importantly, getting just 10% would get their attention, and we could demand drastic change. We could demand term limits. I am for an eight year limit on all Government Offices. Senators could serve one term or change their terms to four years. And more importantly we could demand a clean break between our Legislator's and Big Business. We can outlaw all soft-money, and make any contact between Legislators and Big Business illegal, except publicized discussion in open forum. We can demand secure borders, inspected imports, and a rigidly enforced alien worker program. We can let Washington know, anyone who votes against anything which the majority of Americans want, had better start looking for a new job. Vati-ing is a very viable method of voting to save America.…

As a 73 year old, you have a lot of power when it comes to talking to these congress people, we really do need our elders to speak here and now. I hope you'll get an appointment with your representatives and talk some sense into them. They really are just humans. As for the rest of the apathetic, dumbed down, drugged up people, I think if the T.V.'s stop working we might all be O.K. Your book sounds interesting too and it wouldn't surprise me if the schools got it wrong. Thanks for being on impeachspace.

I wrote this poem more than twenty years ago, in about '82' as I remember. And it reverberates my sentiments today as vibrantly as it did on the day I wrote it.

VATI VATI

AS MIGHTY ROME FELL, AMERICA COULD DIE.
WHETHER IT FAILS OR NOT, IS UP TO YOU AND I.

I worried and stewed, but by—and—by,
came up with a plan, where you and I,
can put America the a road, to a brand—new high. Just blame the politicians, get blood in your eye, and Vote Against The Incumbents. Vati, vati.

Now just voting won̓t do it, we̓ve got to vati. That̓s v, a, t, i, with a long A, and a long I. Vote against the incumbents, and you vati. Things will never get better, until we vati. Vote against the incumbents,
Vati, vati.

This is no time, to just set and sigh.
America will fail, without you and I.
The time has come, we must do or die.
We must all vote, and we must vati.
Vote against the incumbents, Vati, vati.

Things won̓t just get better, by—and—by.
Unless the apathetic voters, you and I,
hit those poles with blood in our eye.
And not only vote, but wisely vati,
Vote against the incumbent. Vati, vati.

We dare not buy, some political lie,
the America we love, is about to die.
Politicians no longer, serve you and I,
but all acquiesce, to the powers that buy.
Vote against the incumbents. Vati, vati.

The newly elected may want to serve you and I, until that powerful pac—money catches their eye. Then party loyalty becomes, their big lie. As they vote with the pac, for their piece of the pie.
Vote against the incumbents, Vati, vati.

Congressmen and Senators, are nigh as apt to die, as meet defeat at the poles, by you and I. They know we’ll vote for’em, they don’t have to try. America is declining as democracy goes awry. Vote against the incumbents. Vati, vati.

Waxing fat on the apathy, shown by you and I, Politicians became hogs, and Washington̓s a sty. But we can change all that, in the blink of an eye, if we just get off our apathy, and dutifully vati.
Vote against the incumbents. Vati, vati.

If just one out of twenty, of us would vati,
we̓d get nigh a third of that Washington sty.
Now that might be to few, to help you and I, But we’d darn sure make the rest of them shy. Vote against the incumbents. Vati, vati.

And when; “Foul, foul,” the politicians cry.
And charge that; “Great careers will sadly die.” Stand up and look them, straight in the eye, And vow; “Losing only makes the truly-great try.” Vote against the incumbents. Vati, vati.

From the County Coroner, to that Washington sty, if you don’t love the incumbent, always vati. Help turn America toward, a brand—new high. Teach your kids and your friends, they must vati. Vote against the incumbents. Vati, vati.

If the state of America, makes you want to cry, then help start a revolution, no one has to die. Our party loyalty sent elections go so far awry. And we can fix that error, just revolt and vati. Vote against the incumbents. Vati, vati.

Part your 2nd and 3rd fingers; that “v” means vati. Send this to a friend, who you think will comply. Let’s all band together, and give̓em a black eye. Vati, vati, and hearty bye-bye.

If you like this, copy it, and send it on.

Grandpa Nate @ Rawlins, Wyoming.
