Congress has rigged the system so that they don't have to listen to "the public". They don't even care if you VOTE (in fact, the more people that don't vote, the better chance they have of being re-elected). They LOVE low voter turn-outs.

The sitting U.S. Congress is the most corrupt, evil, incompetent body ever to occupy the Capitol Building. In collusion with the Bush administration they have abandoned the U.S. Constitution in favor of their own law of the land. Consider what these evil bastards have done since 2000:

1. Illegally and unconstitutionally invaded another sovereign nation that did not provoke, threaten, or attack the U.S.A.;
2. Massacred and maimed over 1,000,000  Iraq citizens for no justifiable reason;
3. Tarnished this country's reputation as a world leader and global peacekeeper;
4. Condoned the irresponsible "detention" or 'prisoners' without regard to the rules of the Geneva Convention, and turned their backs when these people were tortured and physically, emotionally, verbally and sexually abused;
5. Turned America into a police state where citizens are presumed guilty until proven innocent;
6. Initiated failed economic policies that will certainly result in a severe economic depression right after Bush leaves office (so that the incoming Democrats can be blamed for it);
7. Put this country trillions of dollars in debt because of  idiotic "war" that  benefits multimillionaires that invest in war related stocks.  Bush, Cheney and their oilmen buddies can get richer and richer and richer;
8. Lied to the American people and leaked information to the press whenever it conveniently fit their agendas;
9. Neglected the needs of America's poor, sick, disabled, aged, disadvantaged, hungry, homeless, and underprivileged while playing 'Robin Hood in Reverse', stealing from the poor and giving to the rich elitists, the special interest groups, lobbyists, and big corporations so - in turn - they can make generous (if not illegal) campaign contributions that keeps the GOP in power;
10. Killed more than 3,500 U.S. soldiers (so far).
11. Thumbed their noses at the Judicial and Legislative branches of government in contempt.

These vile, repugnant sub-humans deserve the be tried for treason and - if convicted - should face a public firing squad.
