Does the representative in your district or senators in your state represent your views in Congress?

It seems as though that people are always at odds with our government. Then I started wondering, is the government functioning the way it was intended to? I mean, they aren’t called representatives for nothing. Do they represent you?

Is this what is broken with our political system? Has Congress become so automated because of Americans’ apathetic feelings toward the entire process?

On a side note, do you think this is why people aren’t up in arms of being stripped of their constitutional right to warrant-less searches (stupid FISA)
