The American People

An atmosphere of discontent is spreading across the country. Average Americans are not pleased by what has been happening recently in. Ours is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Washington needs to remember that. It is the people’s government not the politician’s government; they are the employees.

Washington is a very isolated community. It thinks everyone thinks the way they do – after all, everyone they know agrees with them. They forget that a vast land exists outside the beltway. This land is populated by real people who have to deal with the real world. These people are not as stupid as Washington seems to believe. Washington wants to do what Washington wants to do – no matter what. In its arrogance Washington feels it knows best. The wishes, will, and opinions of the average American are being ignored.

Here in the real world we honor the Constitution. When we see it being perverted, twisted, and ignored, as has been done, we abhor those actions. It is a document that has led us wisely. You have sworn to defend it. When Congress writes a bill, they are suppose to consider if that bill is within the limit of powers granted to Congress in the Constitution. This is no longer done. Now Congress doesn’t even write the bills much less read them. We, the people, deserve better representation than that.

Wise elected officials would listen to and consider the opinions of their constituents. Respect our opinions. Do not belittle them. Those who ignore the American people may not long be in Washington.

Signed,
The Electorate
