Letter | It’s up to voters to save America and replace incumbents

I have read with great interest the letters to the editor. The idea of an ideal situation in the United States is a great idea. But the voters must take the courage to eliminate the “Gang of 545” elected representatives and senators bynot voting for any incumbent in their next election.

This will take the will of the people to take control of the electorate. The process will be completed in two, four or six years depending on the length of time each has left on their term. Can you honestly say that it would be any worse than the present situation?
