The only things I ask my representatives in government to represent
is our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Don't worry about me individually, worry about me collectively. If they will do that one thing the rest will be all right with me no matter what.

5. As you missed mine
I was merely demonstrating that the job of an elected official is not quite as straight forward as your OP suggested.

6. I think you missed or chose to ignore the point..............
....which is that if our representatives work to uphold the Constitution and Bill of Rights ALL PEOPLE'S RIGHTS will be taken care of in the process.

The part about "All Men Are Created Equal...." would take care of the majority of everyone's concerns - if it was truly followed.

8. yes thats the point, its simple :-)
paper ballots, hand counted. simple solution too.
I am of the belief that the majority of the people in America are good kind hearted people who would like to see the playing field leveled for the benefit of all citizens.
