TVNL Editor's Comments: Only 2.2% of Congress Represent Over 50% of the People

What do mean by that headline? I mean that over 50% of America supports impeaching Dick Cheney but as of today only 12 Representatives and 1 Senator are considering doing their job and representing the will of the people. Those 12 people comprise about 2.2% of the 535 members of Congress.

Let's face it, this is only one example of how Congress does not in any way shape or form represent the public anymore. For example 95% of the people who contacted members of Congress prior to them giving George Bush unconstitutional war expressed their objection to doing so, yet Congress flatly ignored the people, as they do every single day. Well, make that every single day that they actually work! Think about it! Jesse Richard – Editor, TvNewsLIES.org
