They don’t want to face the outrage. Our rep cowboyed up and faced us. We were not thrilled with his vote on the debt bill and we all let him know but he gave a detailed accounting of the whole thing and information that we did not previously know. He filled us in on all the things that had been done in the last session and the GOP strategy on cutting spending, repealing Obamacare, entitlements etc. Thanks to being honest and facing the voters he will likely get re-elected.
You are very blessed to have such an honest Rep. I live in Illinois. Nuf said!
