Unfortunately, those elected to represent the American people, frequently ignore the people’s express wishes, and vote to satisfy their own political desires.
First hand, I called the office of my rep to express my wishes on an upcoming vote. I was told by his people that he intended to vote according to HIS wishes. So, I asked tje lady on the phone, does that mean he doesn’t vote according to voter wishes? And she affirmed that he votes what HE thinks is best.
Our elected reps aren’t supposed to be our rulers. They’re supposed to be our voice!
And that’s why the House is such a mess.
Exactly wrong. We have a republic, not a democracy.
