... that Congress never votes with the people (or very rarely) - on issues that are much more important than "guns".

Stick those heads back in the sand. You didn't think that because you raised your head this time, that they were going to listen now, did you?

... as soon as they fast track the TPP deals through there and PO or HRC signs them. Because passing them into law will signify the official turning of our country into the Fascist States of America. And when/if it happens, I want them all to start wearing decals of the Corporations they represent. Whoever has the least votes, depending on who those fewer Corps are, should be the ones who are reelected. All the rest should be voted out and replaced with representatives who actually represent their constituents. As soon as we can replace all the Reps of Corps, then we need to repeal the TPP laws and celebrate Independence Day once again. Independence from Corporate rule!
