See who our "representatives" in our government are actually working for!

We need BIG CHANGES in Washington D.C. (& other countries). Get together with your friends and neighbors to check the voting record of your "alleged" representatives in Congress. See exactly who they are working for. Demand that they meet with their constituents and explain their votes and answer questions. The upcoming elections aren't just about right now, it's about the future! We need to demand that our members of Congress work for the people and not FOR giant corporations and special interests. They need to put our country first, before their party. I'm talking about REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS!! Some of them are to comfortable with the status quo and further enriching themselves. This isn't working out well for the American People! This is also true for our friends in other countries. Demand more accountability and transparentcy from your government officials. We can no longer stand by and hope that things get better. We deserve better and we deserve it now!

I get the impression that the situation is somewhat different in the UK - I am not aware that our MPs are in the hands of vested interests in the way that they seem to be in the US.

Hopefully not, but it never hurts for citizens to be more involved in their government.
