Elected officials must listen to constituents

The Republican Party is fully culpable for running the country: they have the House, Senate, presidency, Supreme Court, and they are disregarding the majority of their constituents. They are breaching their oath of office.

It is with malice of forethought they take food from young growing children and lower class earnings as theirs to spend.

There is no scapegoat to blame and the further imbalance of wealth will lead to the demise of democracy!

What newscasters are saying is very interesting for when asked questions in private and what they say when knowing what Trump wants to hear are two very different things. I call it FEAR without courage.

When an elected official only caters to one kind of party they still have the duty to listen and consider the views of all who they represent and not just the national political party agenda. This is the legacy they will leave for all their descendants to judge them by.

To the base that has always voted Republican this may be the last for you too. Abraham Lincoln said, “To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men”.
