 The American public was shocked this week as 263 members of the House of Representatives and 74 members of the U.S. Senate were caught stealing more than 700 billion from the American people and the U.S. Treasury.  Those caught included both of the major Presidential candidates and one of the Vice Presidential candidates.  As theft is not part of the job duties of members of Congress, they cannot claim immunity.  Will the 337 individuals caught in the Crime of the Century go to jail?  Will new candidates have to be chosen for the upcoming election season?  It's anyone's guess.

There were some heroes in Congress this week who tried to stop the theft.  These brave heroes included Dennis Kucinich, Russ Feingold, Ron Wyden, Pete Stark, Ron Paul, Raul Grijalva and the Sanchez sisters.  Dennis Kucinich called the Crime of the Century "...the dumbest thing I've ever seen."

Up in arms, members of the public are calling for the funds to be turned over to the American people for safe-keeping.  One observer stated, "After all, the thieves can't be counted on guard the loot from themselves."  Some members of the public are planning to send their education, hospital, food and housing bills to Congress as the money to pay these bills was stolen by the very representatives the public trusted.

It is now being suggested, that if the major Presidential candidates are indicted for the theft, they should be replaced by leaders who actively tried to stop the theft.  The Democratic and Republican leaders who worked the hardest to stop the theft were Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul.

Among current Presidential candidates, Cynthia McKinney worked hardest to stop the theft.  Members of the public expect her to retrieve the stolen money and prosecute offenders if she is elected.
