As I set drinking coffee on a lazy Saturday morning, I noticed one of those large commercial sized shredding trucks pass by my house. I muse to myself that I bet whoever has that business in Washington DC right now must be making a killing. Then I stopped to think: Is there a way to catch people in the act of getting rid of evidence that may be related to the many clearly ILLEGAL activities of the Republicans in Washington of the last few years?

Here's what I propose: The simple, basic video camera. The tool that in many ways won the US Senate for Progressives by capturing the sheer brainlessness of people like George Allen and Conrad Burns. THis same tool can be used to keep watch over OUR government, over the next 3 months. If you see a shredding truck in DC, follow it, see where it goes. If it pulls up to an office of an outgoing senator or rep, PRESS RECORD. Talk to the driver, see if there is any information that he (or she) may have. Who's office? Step into the office and ask questions, with tape rolling. They work FOR US.
Furthermore, we need to talk to companies that may have these contracts and note any increase in volume from particular offices of interest. Such as the Department of Energy. Any remaining Abramoff "freinds". Also, let's develop a database of which companies have these contracts.
Let's not forget that although we have won the election, we dont take power till January. MUCH can happen between now and then. The fight IS NOT over to cleanse our government of corrupt and unethical people and actions. People power will continue. Get those video camera's out and BE SUSPICIOUS.
