Operation Clean Sweep is my latest grassroots passion. This really only applies to Pennsylvania residents in my modest audience (ever more modest when limited to locals). Ales Rarus first opened my eyes to it, but I’m also noticing items in other places now, like at Philly Future. Hopefully this welcome little craze will help bring some sanity back to our state legislature.
One can hope.
I’m all over throwing the bums out. A clean sweep is a good idea…fresh ideas don’t come from spolied political meat.
Good point, Frank. You know, until this controversy really took shape, I wasn’t even aware that there are some states that don’t even have “professional” legislatures like we do—imagine if we had lawmakers who had to hold down real jobs; seems to me they’d be a lot more likely to stay in touch with the concerns of real people…
but that’s not a realistic shift at this point, so yeah, the clean sweep would be a good start.
