(20,402 posts)I can understand why you're so negative about our Representative form of government. It seems very complex and at times unfair from the outside.
The congressman from my district, who stands for re-election every two years, goes to Washington DC to represent my interests when federal money is doled out. I'm a huge supporter, as are the great majority of voters here, and have every confidence he has only our welfare at heart. He's proven himself an effective local voice in DC for five straight terms.
On the federal level, Ohio enjoys the pro-labor Senator, Sherrod Brown. He and his wonderful wife, Pulitzer Prize winning Cleveland Journalist Connie Schultz, have nothing but the best interests of workers on their minds when they respectively write a column or cast a senate vote. They are truly wonderful people.
I can see why someone who doesn't know such political creatures exist might be cynical, but I'm more than enthusiastic about my Representatives and work hard to ensure their incumbancy.
When someone tries to tell me "they're all crooked", I invite them to produce the evidence and I'll help present it to the attorney general. I have no partisan tolerance for corruption. So far there have been no takers.
