Letter: Congress should get off their posteriors

From the news channels, it appears to me that our government, media and Congress are doing a poor job of protecting the public from damage. Certain politicians are allowed to distort or violate good ethical practices continually.

Also, Congress is ignoring those foreign governments that are slowly buying up U.S. property without permission or consideration from relevant Americans. It stinks of incumbent political maneuvers (rather than letting the people choose).

These are only a small portion of the un-American actions being planned. Further poor practice is the despicable exploitation of young people. The authorities should be listening. Congress should get off their posteriors and return this country (practices) as intended by the Constitution.
