You are expendable. Comes as a surprise don't it ! Your congress critter is giving himself raises regular as clockwork got all sorts of contingency plans to get his presious a$$ out of Wash. D.C. in the event of a terrorist attack, got gasmasks, reserved spaces in doomsday bunkers even building a brand new $386 million dollar bunker just behind the Capitol building to be accessed by the members of Congress via the basement of the building . But you are expected to do your duty & place your head firmly between your legs & kiss your A$$ good-bye.
