You could quit whining online and call or e-mail your House or Senate representatives on issues.
No shit! Man, I would never have thought of that one. Which brings me to this--why do you assume no one's done this?
Shooter McGavin:
I side with Burke who offered that "Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion."
This is pure blather. Edmund Burke represented an 18th century sensibility. You might just as well cite "good order is the foundation of all things."
A sure recipe for perpetuation of the status quo.
