With the government shut down of October 1, 2013 the members of Congress have demonstrated their failure to place the American public interest as the top priority. Instead they all have placed their own private interests as the number one priority and as a result have caused numerous Americans, both government employees and private citizens, numerous undue hardships. The members of Congress have abandoned the American people whom they serve and are a direct threat to the American way of life and of our Republic. We the people are here by calling for an immediate removal of all members of the United States Congress and call for immediate elections to be held in order to replace all members. Furthermore, all members that are to be removed from their elected office will not be allowed to hold public office again nor receive any benefits from this time forward.
