absolutely not. Both our Congressmen and Senators are protecting their jobs, America be damned.
Our government has gone from a government of the people, by the people and for the people. To a government of the party, by the party, for the party.
Example, the majority of Americans have made it clear that they are against amnesty for the illegal aliens.
Yet our law makers have ignored America and is going to pass some type of amnesty bill.
Why? Because it could mean thousands of votes.

Our elected officials haven't been doing their jobs for quite a long time, primarily because the vast majority of voters are still operating under the mistaken impression that the Democrats and Republicans are actually different, and that one part or the other really gives a crap about the welfare of the people.
The results won't change until the voters wise up and stop voting against themselves.
