I've said for years, "Throw the b******s out, all of them."
I frankly have little faith in the wisdom, ability, patriotism of any of "my" representatives.
And, even if I pose an issue to them, I'm whistling Dixie to get an answer.
Case in point: On 12 Nov 07, I wrote to my Representative and both Florida Senators over an admittedly small issue, but I did mistakenly kind of hope for a reply.
I had a reply on 3 Jan 08 (nearly two months later) from the Rep. Nothing substantive was offered in response to my issue, but at least the letter reflected that mine had been read!
One of the Senators replied on 22 Jan 08 (over two months later). He acknowledged my query, but chose to forward it to DoD (Department of Defense), since it is an issue involving them. "You will receive a response directly from that office." So far, not a word from Secretary Gates or his clan.
The second Senator hasn't deemed a reply necessary, to date.
And, we wonder why nothing gets done in Foggy Bottom!
