Go to the polls with a list of current office-holders, and throw them all out. If someone's in office, vote 'em out. Oh, sure, there's a few we should keep in office - I'm sure we disagree on which ones, and that's OK - but if they deserve to represent me, odds are they'll still deserve to represent me in two or four or six years.
But I'm going to over-react for an election cycle or two and consistently vote against current office-holders.
And another thing: They're still just greasy carb strips and shouldn't be eaten, at least not in the quantities we do. The French will be happy to have them called "American Fries" or some such idiocy. After all, pommes frites really were invented in Belgium.
Sometimes I just feel possessed by the spirit of Rosie the Riveter, and I want to go and whack the hell out of the decision makers who offer us tripe like this when they're making a war out of airy nothing.
I think some "genius" has been looking in the book of precedents - I recall Sauerkraut was rebranded 'Liberty Cabbage' in the U.S. of 1917. French fries? Ah yes - chips!
France doesn't think we should go to war with Iraq without U.N. support. That hardly makes France the "enemy," but if you're Dubya and Friends it might.
Sigh. I'm watching the stock market drop every day on "war jitters." This truly sucks.

If the place has retitled them "Freedom Whatevers", I'll go eat somewhere else.
I'm not unpatriotic; I'm protesting stupidity.

Freedom fries indeed.
Fools.

If your incumbent voted reasonably, keep them. If not, don't.

This whole tempest in a deep-fryer (the pommes frites incident?) just really set me off.

And the food item in question is really Belgian Fries, not French. The French think Begians are stupid for inventing fries. (I'm 1/2 Belgian >.<)
