We have created in America a permanent political class that has powerful incentives to remain in office and grow government. Protected from accountability by gerrymandered districts and financial support from special interests, its members at times actually defy their constituents, as they did on the illegal immigration issue in 2007 and the mortgage bailout bill in 2008. It's time to hold our politicians to account.

Republicans 40% more charged up than they were in 1994
A new Gallup poll has found that 59 percent of Republicans or Republican leading voters say they are "more enthusiastic than usual" about voting this November, which is the highest ever recorded since they started asking in 1994. That year, when the GOP regained control of Congress, just 42 percent expressed similar enthusiasm. In 2006, when Democrats retook Congress, the number stood at 50 percent.
