Yes, especially your rep.
Your rep is the only one you get to vote for. Maybe he got you a bridge to nowhere or grant money to fund your study of butterflies .. so for whatever reason you allow that it’s all the others that cause the problem. “My rep is great and deserves my vote.” Well, it is your vote.
However, consider this. Republican, Democrat, or Independent, they are all a very real part of the problem. Congress run amok ... Congress voting for regard of Congress and it’s contributors, not for regard to the good of the country. Voting for your rep will send a message that my rep’s OK and Congress is OK. If everyone votes this way (as we have for many elections now) we send no message and nothing changes.
If you agree that we need change you MUST vote out incumbents at every opportunity. It’s that simple. They have forgotten who they work for and forgotten the mission of their work ... to keep and make America strong and sustainable. They are not beholden to voters, but rather to financial influence, and they have developed a system of “my rep’s OK” that works for the entire bunch of them. We must break that cycle. We must send our politicians the message. They need to be working for the good of Americans, not the corporations.
