Very well said! I like to say that I work for a candidate to elect them and then they work for us. A lot of them forget that we are their boss once they get to Washington not the other way around where they vote for what they think is best for us.
The vast majority of time my Congressman and almost always Inhofe and Coburn vote the way Oklahomans want them to vote.
Thanks. I think Coburn and Inhofe provide a stark contrast to the likes of Barbara Boxer who recently demonstrated clearly the problem with many of our representatives. When she chastised Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh not to call her as “Ma’am” instead of “Senator” she was illustrating how she thinks of herself and her position. It would be disgusting enough it if were a common man showing her due respect and getting verbally slapped in the face but to have a General who has risked more and has more responsibility over the lives of soldiers and the protection of the citizenry than she ever will be treated in such a fashion demonstrates a level of narcissism that makes one wonder whether she received her position in an election or as a right of birth.
We are increasingly seeing from our elected and unelected officials a disdain for the will of the citizen. They attempt to manipulate us as if we are more serfs than those from which derive their power. Which is why it is important that we not only win elections but make sure we win them with the right people who are strong in word and deed and committed to honoring the uniqueness of this nation and the sovereignty of the citizen that lifts them up.
