"The system is broken." How often have you heard that said by both Democrats and Republicans?

The system is not working because the checks and balances , written onto our Constitution, have not been provided by this Republican Congress. There has been no oversight of the Administration. There have not been in-depth reviews of the incompetence, waste, fraud and abuse of the taxpayers money related to Iraq, Katrina and homeland security. There have been no extensive hearings on our fiscal policy which has led to huge deficits. The Senate has confirmed many White House nominees to important government positions who were totally unqualified for their jobs, many of whom had worked for lobbies that opposed the very mission of the agency they were supposed to serve.

Now you can do something about this. Vote for a new Congress to prevent this Administration from continuing to lead us down the wrong path. Sherwood Boehlert, long our Representative, is retiring. Electing a Democrat to his seat could be critical to changing control of the House. Therefore vote for Michael Arcuri, the Democratic candidate.
