Why Potomac Fever?
For over 200 years, honest(?) and hard-working(?) politicians have come to Washington, DC with pure hearts and good intentions. They get elected by promising to cut taxes and cut spending...then something happens and a transformation begins.

We call it Potomac Fever. The fumes from the Potomac River magically increase the size of their heads sometimes ten fold. Slowly taxes aren't so bad after all. What's a few billion or trillion in extra spending? After all I'm a very important person; I represent "The People."

The longer a politician stays in Washington, the worse the symptoms get. Soon their positions on issues "grow" to reflect Washington 's conventional wisdom. After a while you can't tell the Democrats from the Republicans without a scorecard. Potomac Fever is here to remind them where they came from and who they represent. With your help we'll send the hopeless cases packing every election cycle.
