Hall of Shame Nominee #2:

Corrupt Politicians

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is just the latest in a LONG line of politicians taken down by scandal this year.

Louisiana Congressman William “cash in the freezer” Jefferson, Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, New Jersey Senator Robert Torricelli--the list goes on and on.

Who can we trust anymore? Why do so many politicians turn their backs on the faith entrusted to them and stick their greedy hands out to every would-be power and influence buyer?

Let’s put ALL politicians on notice—do your job honorably, serve the public well that elected you... and... get ready for this... uphold the high standards of your office (what a concept), or we will kick you to the curb!

There’s an novel idea... serving the public that elected you, not fleecing them!

President-elect Obama has pledged to reform the way government works, so we hope he quickly and decisively condemns any acts of political corruption and greed, and sternly punishes offenders.
