Here are some of those visiting citizens that this governmental body is supposed to represent:

Here is my interpretation of what is actually going on:

Paid-off Senate

Yeah, I know it’s cynical to think like this, but other than a few freshman senators, I really believe this is how it works these days.  Now the question is, what can we do about it?

Vote them all out, start a revolution and begin again, ignore the “laws” they make and do things our own way (thus starting the afore-mentioned revolution,) something else?

I really don’t know but something needs to happen soon, else I think we’re all screwed.
