I agree with your assessment/position. In order to change the course of U.S. religious nationalism we need a new legislative branch and to demand sensible, socially (i.e., not rooted in religious doctrine) responsible legislation to expand and protect liberties and equalities. That rules out nearly everyone sitting in the congress and senate because they voted for the UnPatriot Act.

To put a practical twist on it... VOTE them all out!
