Comment: keep it...we can always electnew ones in...but then again...i think that those who gripe about politics should run for office and see if they can handle the pressure and intensity of the people...like themselves! from p'cola fl by h
Comment: Get rid of the lot of them and lets start over. Talk about needing a change. . . NOW is when this country needs a change and I think alot of people who voted for that so called "change" in 2008 are not happy with their decision any longer.

Comment: these "lords" we call senators were created to prevent frustrate the will of the people and their representatives. flush that chamber ,and lock the door from gulf breeze fl by tom
Comment: I'd love to replace them, but I only have one vote for one representative. This Congress is embarrassing by its partisanship and failure to work for all Americans. The House Speaker and Senate Majority Leader are both terrible leaders who do not have the country's best interests as their chief concern. It's Congress' like this that make me support term limits. I think 12 years as a maximum consecutive term for a representative or senator would be in our best interests - lowering the impact of 'career' politicians. from Pensacola / FL by Rick
Comment: WHAT?????????????????
Comment: I'd throw all of the bums out that have been there more than 2 terms. from Crestview, FL by Doug
Comment: I will replace congress. In November, I will not vote for an incumbent. I think that the only way to get the attention of congress is to push for term limits and line item veto. Congress has lost contact with the people. from FWB, FL by Robert
Comment: Replace them. It is time for change!! from Crestview, Fl by Josh
Comment: This Congress has NOT spoken for me; it has NOT represented my interests in this country I served (Navy) and continue to serve (education). I'm voting them all out! from Milton, FL by Dr. Jean
Comment: replace. They have become more divisive, aligning themselves along party line with no regard for the John and Jane Does who elected them. Seem to cater to lobbyists, financiers, and big business. The sad thing is you either have to indebt yourself or be wealthy to run for office. from pensacola, fl by karastin
Comment: YES!!!!!!!!!!
Comment: Replace all...we have to start with a new slate... cut all ties with / to lobbiests...stop the money drain in EVERY area! Smal government for and by the people. from Milton / FL by Robert
Comment: I'd be tempted to show them all to the door. I would then tell the new Congress that they have two years to fix the nation, or they will also be gone. from Gulf Breeze/FL by Don
Comment: You bet. Just watch one of our senior congressman Murta, D-PA on Utube and you will see why they all need to go. from Pensacola, FL by Bob
Comment: I would not replace congress as an institution, but I would replace most of the people serving in it. And I would definitely approve of term limits for both the House and the Senate. by D
Comment: Keep some get rid of most it really gets tiring listening to them go on and on and accomplishing nothing. As to the President weighing in on a high speed rail, which does not benefit NW Florida, don't get me started. from Ft. Walton Beach, Fl by Jim
Comment: I would like to see Congressman Jeff Miller stay. The rest should go to include Obama and that she puppet that has his back side. from Pace by Judy

Comment: Replace from Pace / FL. by James
Comment: I would not replace Congress. I would make a system that allows people to better see legislation in lay terms. I would put in place a voting system to let all politicians know about what we think and a online system that would provide for voting them out anytime they stop listening to their constituents. from Pensacola by Bill
Comment: I don't see where we have any choice. Their replacements are still in prison! PS: has anyine ever seen a politician actually answer a question? And never with a simple Yes or No!!!! Jon from Pensacola from Pensacola by John
Comment: Congress is at a point where they cannot agree to disagree on any issues. There is much corruption with the padding of bills in an effort to win over votes to pass bills. To date, neither side nor the President has been able to work together on any issue since the POTUS has taken office! The State of the Union focused on too much finger pointing and blaming the past for today's issues...so what, what are you going to do about it NOW! from Penscola, FL by John
Comment: replace all of them from pensacola,fl by billy
