Politics, or "Thanks Joe"

Sent the following to both Democratic and Republican National parties

---
This message has been sent to the DNC

"Bailout"


Farce of Congress on the "bailout"
I hereby call on all members of Congress to resign

Neither party deserves to lead or even participate in the current situation

We need, as Jefferson foresaw, a "republican" Senate, and a "democratic"
House

Currently we have neither, just a bunch of political hacks with open pockets

I say fie on both parties, both houses

Of course my message got a serious read
So far, no reply from Republicans, but did get this from Democrats :

Friend --

Now that John McCain has decided to participate in tonight's debate, don't forget to tune in and watch at 9:00 p.m. EDT.

This is a great opportunity to come together with your friends and family and hear Barack's plan to take our country in a fundamentally different direction.

But before you watch tonight's historic debate, there's something just as important that you can do right now.

I'm about to make a big request -- and I wouldn't ask if it weren't so important.

In the final weeks of this campaign, supporters like you will be traveling to the nearest battleground state to do the kind of work that will decide this election -- knocking on doors, talking to undecided voters, and getting out the vote on Election Day.

Will you sign up to travel to a battleground state and spend one, two or even three weeks helping to win this election?

Face-to-face contact with voters is the single most effective way to deliver the votes we need to win.

It may be a tight race, but we have something John McCain doesn't: a whole lot of passion and enthusiasm for change. I've seen it in the towns and cities I've visited in every corner of the country.

But it's up to each of us to make sure we turn this energy into votes on November 4th.

Don't let this election be decided by political stunts or distractions. Join your fellow supporters, roll up your sleeves, and help carry this campaign to victory.

Make a difference by traveling to a state where the race is extremely close and help put us over the top:

Supporters like you are the only reason we've come as far as we have.

Now, we're counting on you to get us the rest of the way.

Thanks for everything you're doing,

Joe
