Controlling Congress Now

For those of us wondering if we can do anything now while we wait for the elections of 2010 - the answer is yes.
This article explains 3 constitutional controls for congress. There are 3 controls that the people have placed in state constitutions but they do not exist at the federal level. These are balanced budget amendments, line item vetoes and single-subject requirements.
We have to understand that getting something like this implemented for a congress that does not care about the constitution, country or the people will not be an easy task but it is our duty to take our government back and remind them they are temporary employees.
