NO! We are not represented. Greed has taken over Washington, and big business, special interest groups along with thier lobbyists are now the only people represented by our govt. We may still put them into office, or so it may seem. The MSM pulls most of the strings when it comes to getting the people in to power that they want and need to further thier agenda. Largely, in most part it's biased toward the liberals, and each one with thier own, sometimes seemingly insignificant contribution to furthering a socialist agenda which, in the end, includes a "New World Order".
I believe that while most people know that somethings just aren't right with the way our politicians run things, deep down, either they don't want to see and believe what is really going on or just can't admit to the truth that what should be impossible to do to our constitution and protection of our rights, is possible, and could very well be happening right under our noses and in your face.

...the remaining nobles, the readier they were to be slaves, were raised the higher by wealth and promotion, so that, aggrandised by revolution, they preferred the safety of the present to the dangerous past. Nor did the provinces dislike that condition of affairs, for they distrusted the government of the Senate and the people, because of the rivalries between the leading men and the rapacity of the officials, while the protection of the laws was unavailing, as they were continually deranged by violence, intrigue, and finally by corruption.

Tacitus, 109 A.D., writing about the end of the Roman Republic.
