This is a very long post. I am duplicating the first section here, regarding the Save America Act. At the end is the link to the complete post. It is worth your time and attention. I promise.
THE COMPLETE LIST OF CONGRESS MEMBERS WHO HAVE DECIDED THEIR AGENDA MATTERS MORE THAN YOU DO
Let me say something at the very beginning that you need to understand before we go any further.
Your congressman does not represent Democrats. Your senator does not represent Republicans. They do not represent the donors who funded their campaign, the party bosses who gave them their committee assignments, or the cable news anchors who invite them on television. They represent EVERY SINGLE PERSON in their district or their state. Period. That is the entire job. That is the oath. That is the contract they signed with you the moment they put their hand on a Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States.
Not the people who voted for them. EVERYONE.
That means the conservative in a blue district who just wants to show ID to vote — the same ID he showed to buy cold medicine last Tuesday — deserves representation. The veteran in any state who is losing $1,400 a month because the government he bled for is picking his pocket deserves representation. The working parent who does not want their tax dollars funding the salaries of people who cannot be bothered to DO THEIR JOB deserves representation.
What you are about to read is not a partisan attack. I am going to call out members of BOTH parties by name, on the record, using their actual votes. I am going to tell you which party most of the offenders belong to, because the data is what it is, and I refuse to lie to you just to seem balanced. I am also going to call out Republicans by name when the data demands it, because intellectual honesty requires it.
What I ask is simple. Read this. Look up your representative in these lists. Ask yourself one honest question:
Is this person doing the job you hired them to do?
Because in far too many cases — the documented answer is no.
