Dear Current Members of Congress,

Let's face it. Our system is broken. Furthermore, you know that it is. Our problems are growing in number and their consequences are worsening. The situation is so bad that it can no longer be fixed. We need to start over. If you don't agree, then you are either (1) lying or (2) lack the intelligence to do your job. There is no third possibility.

You put your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution to our once great nation. Then, overtime you forsake that promise for world of bickering, partisanship, and personal gain. Certainly, you may have gone to Washington with the best of intentions, but after being engulfed in this corrupt system, the corruption rubbed off. It became acceptable to lie and cheat because everybody else lies and cheats.

No one expects you to own-up to the fact that your 2-party system is at fault. Very few people have the courage to change a system that propelled them into a powerful and separate class. No, I expect you to fight tooth and nail against a system that supports policies that help people and not the special interests who pay for your campaigns.

A record number of your associates have given up altogether. Justin Amash was one of the first to quit Congress and the Republican Party because of our failed political environment. He said…

“Both parties mislead, misdirect, employ double standards, and lie. When you point this out, each side attacks you for suggesting their team is anything like the other team. Wake up, partisans—you are a mirror image of the other side, just with different biases and blind spots.”

Former Presidential Candidate Andrew Yang quit the Democratic Party and plans to create a new party called the Forward Party. Others have announced plans to start 3rd parties, but as soon as they realize the number of unfair advantages created by your 2 parties, they quit.

I wish them well, but no 3rd party stands a chance when the election laws that you created prevent fair competition. You are always talking about how competition always helps companies and people in every industry. Why then do you prevent competition in our political system? Does it have anything to do with the fact that you maintain a 95% re-election rate with a 9% approval rating?

This is a real once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go down in history alongside our Founding Fathers – and the millions of people who died to give future generations a chance to live a better life. But instead, you bankrupted our nation, restricted our freedoms and built a system where - in the first time of our nation's history - future generations will have lower life expectancies and a lower standard of living. It’s time for you to step aside.

Signed,
The American People
