You're semi right, in that many parts of government do not care about what the public thinks; however, congressmen are not in this group. They are totally beholden to the people in their district, as that is their source of power. The people who live in a district have that districts congressman by the nose, and they should act like it.
- snitko 13y agoWell, let's see. Do people have the power to stop paying a congressman his salary immediately or do they have to wait for the next election and hope another guy wins? Or maybe they can take a congressman to court for not keeping his promises? What incentives does a congressman have to truly react to those who elected him and do something about the issues they have?
