hack making decisions for me.

You and I have decided through our voting for congresscritters what should
be done (lobbyists play no role, right?). Therefore the balance has been
struck. Of course you can appeal to the SCOTUS ...


The congressman I voted for last election is doing what I want (so far.)
The congressman I didn't vote for last time didn't do what I wanted. I
helped vote him out.

My Congressman is invisible.

The Senator I didn't vote for is not doing what I want, I'll try to
vote him out next time around.

One of my Senators is on the top of the heap, the other is invisible. The
only time I've seen him is on billboards (guess it's better than the post
office). Tried to vote him out last time but incumbency has its perks.

The president I didn't vote for is not doing what I want, I'll try to
vote him out next time around. Right now, it's 2 against one, hopefully
that will continue change for the better.

Indeed.

Regardless, I don't want protected from myself, period.
