The purpose of a congressman


Q: Why did the founding fathers give us congressman/women?
A: So they could go to Washington and vote for the people. Because the farmer wasn't going to travel all the way to Washington to vote. Time wise it wouldn't have worked.

Q: Since we now have the internet and can "be in Washington" to cast our vote, should we still allow a few persuadable people vote for things we don't want?
A: No.

I'm not trying to overthrow the Government here, I'm just stating the facts of why congressperson where sent there in the first place and why we should not let them lull us into destruction. We can vote for our own laws. Each voice could be heard. Take the government away from the few and give it back to the people.

Thoughts...anyone...

whoa...that is too much for my brain to wrap around. If we could only get our congresspeople (going politically correct) to remember WHO they work for...ME and YOU then maybe they would vote the way we want. But alas, there are other "you's" and "me's" out there who want OUR congresspeople to vote their way, which may not be MY way.......Jonathan...can you run for congress??

(ps, when did you become "jonny"?
