It seems that many of you elected officials have forgotten your duty:
In 1787, we, the American people, chose not to be ruled, but to rule ourselves. We decide through elected citizens who represent our voice and our ideals! Lately, many of you officials are not listening to the people that you are supposed to represent. You are trying to convince us that you know what is good for us. Some of you have even come out and stated that you will vote against the position taken by your constituents if you believe it is in their best interest.
You people think you are our rulers not our representatives! You are not! We put you in office and we will remove you if you do not act in accordance with our will!
By definition to represent means to “act for or in behalf of”. Your job as a Congressperson or Senator is to represent the will of the majority of the people in your district. You will know what their will is by listening to what they tell you through email, phone calls, conversations and demonstrations. You were not elected to decide what is right for us, you were not chosen because you are better than us. You do not rule us rather you work for us!

Absolutely!! The Hubris displayed by the likes of barney Franks at his town hall demonstrates this very notion. Had my representative addressed me in the same manner, he might have had that 1000 plus page bill slapped up side his liberal head.
