How are our Congressmen doing?

Wisconsin Republicans pushed through a new voter ID law this year on the pretense of cleaning up our elections, though we had no discernible fraud problem.  Now processing the photos for these IDs is costing the state $28 each and the new law requires an added registration  process that threatens to create such long tedious lines, some voters may leave without voting or even  stay away from the precincts.  This new law will do more to interfere with good elections than assist the process. 

On the other hand, having succcessfully picked up two seats in the state Senate through recalls this year, the Democrats are running several more recall elections next year, costing taxpayers the considerable expense of numerous more special elections. 

Whatever happened to all the politicians' concerns about bringing down the the high cost of government and reducing our enormous deficit?  Their priorities, on both sides, are obvious, aren't they?  No wonder the Occupy people are protesting all over.  The politicians in both parties just haven't gotten the message yet, and we citizens are sick to death of the game-playing. 
Lord, our nation does need help to get back on track towards a good, moral, God-pleasing country.  Lead us towards that end, if it be Your will,
