(62,325 posts)people who work for Reps on the Hill and no one receives more letters, phone calls, emails, and actual visits from the public, than US Representatives. They often turn off the answering machines they get so many.
They IGNORE the people here. That doesn't mean we won't keep annoying them, but it does mean the people need those they elected to stand up and DO SOMETHING. To stop caving to the worst bunch of morons to ever buy elections. To do what a majority of the people keep calling and writing and emailing about.
Your assumption could not be more wrong. What we DO know is that Congress now ignores the people, they probably laugh at all the calls they get but THEIR attention is on the Corporate Lobbyists with the big bags of money to hand them for voting THEIR way.
I am sick to death of these posts attempting to blame the people.
What you copied and pasted does NOT mean no one is going to call. The question asked 'why should we have to do this' every day is a GOOD QUESTION!! WE GAVE THEM A JOB. If I employ someone and pay them a good salary, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THAT JOB MYSELF, should I?
But that is what we the people have to do. We HAVE jobs THEIRS is to do what they were elected to do without us having to stop doing OUR jobs to call them each and every day to remind them what their jobs are.
So, when you call someone every time a vote comes to tell them what you want, and they ignore you over and over and over again and do the exact opposite of what you tell them you want, can you in your infinite wisdom which apparently we lack, explain what we should do next?
My solution is 'fire them all'!
