I am a federal employee, not a congressman. And although I agree there is a lot of waste, fraud, and abuse within the government, that is still no reason to deny me my right to vote.

Federal employees, as well as others who are beneficiaries of government largesse (with other peoples money), have a conflict of interest in the matter of restraining government spending. As a voting block they are one of the impediments to the curtailing of government waste.
