Representative? . . . I think Not!

Fowlerreport - I completely agree with your observations in this report. When I review actions by our 'representatives' I often wonder..."Who really wants this?...who are they representing....is this what the majority wishes...has anyone gone to the street and polled the people, and if so, who picked who would be polled???" The best I can tell is that those in office simply vote according to what lobby group has provided that largest donations to campaigns and what big item ticket will get them re-elected. I can't think of a representative that lives on what 'they' say is the average American income, nor do I know of one who is out in the communities they serve more than a few weeks at a time during re-election. Thank you for your post and keep them coming!

I would pass out if I was actually graced with five minutes of my Senator's or Congressman's time!
