We wouldn’t be a blog if we didn’t jump on this political train. But I’m not that knowledgeable the situation itself, so I’m not going to pretend to be. My issue is with process. There is no “I” in government, but there certainly seems to be in election. While watching converge, over and over I heard representatives state “I don’t like this, I do like this, I wont do this” Since when did their OPINION matter? As far as I understand elected officials are supposed to act in the best interest of who they represent, personal feelings need not apply. Beyond any other problem in government, I feel that this is the core issue…I don’t really care what YOU think; it’s supposed to be the other way around. I voted for you because I felt you would be the best mouth piece for my concerns. Yet in this recent health care bill, I feel like that was lost. Now I don’t have official numbers, but it seems like MANY people are unhappy with how their elected official voted, and that’s where my anger lies. What happened to the days of real town hall meetings, where residents could voice their concerns? Has my district representative made any attempt to find out what I want…no, and therein lies the problem.

Speak up...Congress Cant Hear You!

President Obama made a speech saying that the passing of this bill showed that government for the people, by the people still worked. Funny…no one EVER asked what I wanted.
