All citizens of the United States reside in a congressional district. Members of Congress work for the voters in that district. US protectorates and the District of Columbia generally have nonvoting observer representation in Congress. I'm sure jaded people think Congress only works for big corporations or rich people, but most congressmen really are concerned with the interests of constituents in their district. After all, money helps win elections but only to the extent it translates to votes.

The only people Congress represents are themselves. Its all about money and power. Whatever special interest group lines their pockets with the most cash is the group who gets laws passed that benefit them. A prime example being oil companies aka Exxon Mobil.

Judging by recent congressional activiy, I would say that the people represented by congress are primarily congressmen, with the occasional lobbyist and special interest group thrown in to offset the appearance of self-gratification.

information superhighway particularly worth isn't a demonstration of who represents my surprising pastime. in the adventure that they characterize my hobbies, i wish they make even extra. What concerns is who're their individuals and what do they prefer for his or her funds. i am going to inform you at present that the republicants are funded by technique of vast oil vast capacity like the Koch brothers,, the coverage giants, WalMart and different merchants who opt to kill or decrease minimum wages and coverage advantages, the protection market because republicans opt to make conflict, deepest reformatory and faculty organizations. . . i imagine i am going to count number on what they do, no longer how a lot they are particularly worth in funds.
