Keep this in mind when you contact your congress-critter:
The only time they are accoutable to the elctorate is at election time.
Any other time, they do as they please to keep their political position.
There political position is that you vote them in and they tell you how to live your life.
Re: “they get voted in and then tell you how to live your life.”
I personally know and heavily supported someone who won a seat in the U.S. House. She served one term and then refused to talk to me about anything that happened while there. She pretty much went into seclusion. It was downright odd.
I’ll always believe that they are indoctrinated and sworn to secrecy about what “really” goes on in that den of iniquity.
Oh, and I’m sure that yearly salary for life is a big incentive to keep their mouths shut.
