Americans are incresingly feeling that their voice isn't being heard in Washington and that they aren't being represented. Wasn't this one of the charges against George III?
Three-fourths of Americans (75%) in a recent FoxNews poll feel that they are not being represented - as if we needed that survey to tell us this. All we have to do is reflect on our own experiences.
Whenever I call my Senators - especially Bill Nelson of Gatoraid fame - I only get voice mail. They aren't interested in hearing from us. My congressional seat won't be filled again unitl Ed Lynch wins the special election on April 13th.
I clearly have little to no representation.
The current numbers on people opposing health care are at 55% and rising. However, since the majority of votes in Congress is all that matters, and not whether they represent the will of the people, we may get health care passed anyway.
Even if it passes on Sunday or whenever, it isn't a done deal yet.
Oh, if November 2nd would get here.

Steve,
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain".
Yes, just like the Wizard of Oz, the congress people act great and powerful, but in actuality, they are simply buffoons.
Steve
The phones is Washington are off the hook and our presentatives are not taking our calls.
Good luck and success.
Lou Ludwig
Ron,
Great analogy. Thanks. :)
Steve
Lou,
You are right, and it's a disgrace. This had better be Bill Nelson's last 2 years in office. :)
Steve
Time to throw out the thieves and big spenders and those who think they know what's best for us.
John,
It's way past time, but maybe more people are getting the message. :)
Steve
I actually have a good Congressman... and he is retiring. I used to be represented by Cynthia McKinney. Oy.
Steve: This is just amazing. You mention a Fox News poll... and take it as fact. Not only are you feeling unrepresented... when you are watching "Fox News"... you are not watching the news. Fox News is an "entertainment channel."
Have a wonderful weekend !
Karen... it is a Rassmussen Poll. Feel free to find one that disputes it. BTW, as you are looking, remember to look for polls where they included a question about cost. That is the primary hang-up.
Lane,
I hope you get another good one. You're 1 for 2 right now. :)
Steve
Karen,
Thanks for following our protest and joining in. Glad to have you. The "entertainment channel" as you call it is dubbed that by Obama and Gibbs. Since Obama appeared on the network, maybe he'll give them more credibilty. Keep watching. :)
Steve
Lane,
Thanks. Yesterday's Rassmussen poll also found that Obama has done in 14 months what Bush couldn't do in 8 years when he bested Bush's disapproval rating by one point. :)
