Another Continental Congress

Our Country needs another Continental Congress. Today we have issues in our country left undealt with or issues that remain a side majority vote. The point of our country is to have decisions made that will benefit our whole country. If we continue to pass bills based on the agenda that we need my political friends to vote for me we have lost the point. We do not have time in this life to waste on insignificant political games. The idea of congress should not be based on time. When our country was founded the continental congress was not a deal with time it was a deal with a decision. A conclusion had to made and it was. We have laws that were not compromised they were simply won my the majority vote.

The laws of this country are important, and I believe that we should pay more close attention to them than to just let them be whisked away by a simple vote. We have erasers and drafts for a reason. The entire point of congress is to help the people have say, but what is the use if the law is passed by a deal under the table with a political partner. I understand it is complicated, and it makes it easier sometimes to progress with these games, but the role of a congress person is not meant to be easy.

We have given congress the decision to face the hard issues that need to be debated, compromised, and solved. I believe the issues are being debated and solved, but done so unfairly and with no compromise. When the country is in a battle over itself, there are decisions and compromises that need to happen. The laws in congress are important to someone, and who are we to whisk those ideas off in a moments notice. We need to hear everyone's cry, listen to our voices, and makes compromises on bills. Meet the other side, and listen. Try to make a conclusion where both people can get along with.
