Unfair representation

Bill Nevills

Published: November 6, 2009

I am a taxpaying voter, veteran and one that loves this country. I do, however, expect to get what I pay for! Our government is charged with ensuring my right to representation as a U.S. citizen. This right has been guaranteed to me by the U.S. Constitution. This government has failed to protect my rights by refusing to allow my representative to be present during the construction of the proposed national health bill.

However, I see that many others have been treated in the same manner. Seems to me that this is how the Civil War got started. A bunch of stupid folks in Congress failed to respect states rights and work together to form a working partnership to maintain a union.

Well, what goes around comes around. Congress is swelled with those most interested in themselves and not the well being of this country. Time to retire those ego controlled has-beens that have been around long enough to find all the ways to self riches and install some new blood.
