Tell me about it, my Senators are Merkley and Wyden, Merkley is the instigator in the filibuster, he is so dumb. When I wrote him about repealing the ACA, he wrote back "just wait until the single payer option, that will solve all your healthcare problems."
I wrote Wyden, pleading with him to wake up the the NSA raw data gathering. Remember he is the one that Clapper lied to under oath about the NSA and data collection. I explained a month ago that Mike Flynn's name was exposed while a private citizen, he wrote back, "we are going to get to the bottom of the Russia/Trump connection".
Senators are now only at the beck and call of large urban voting pools now. The rest of the states’ interests don’t matter to them. That is why it is wrong, just as is the popular vote for a US President. The collective regional interests, mores and goals of the country (or state) as a whole are ignored in favor of some very tightly packed rats nests of users.
