On My Mind: What Is Wrong With Congress These Days?

 

What is wrong with our Congress these days?  Where do I begin?

As I wrote in an earlier post a few weeks ago, it seems to me that there
are very few members of our Congress today who can genuinely be
called public servants of the American people.

  My state representative, Congressman Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) is
 a man whom I consider to be a true public servant and who cares about
defending and upholding the US Constitution, and defending the rights,
and protecting the freedom of his constituents here in New Jersey.  

Although I know he is very busy he has taken the time to call me
 on the telephone, not once, but several times, to discuss certain
issues for which I have contacted him.  Representative Van Drew
 taking the time to personally reach out to address my concerns
really means a lot to me.

In these uncertain and perilous days, it seems the vast majority of our
legislative body within the halls of Congress, and especially those irritatingly
obnoxious and self-righteous members of the younger set,  know very
 little, nor do they seem to care much about upholding and defending the
United States Constitution, or adhering to the Balance of Powers
which defines the function of our federal government.

If Congress was doing their job correctly, President Biden's feeding frenzy
of signing Executive Orders- starting from Day One of his term- would have
been nipped in the bud as fast as it began.  Congress makes the laws.
The President of the United States either signs legislation into law or vetoes it.

However, and in risk of repeating myself here, it seems as if many in both
 the Senate and the House of Representatives have irrevocably compromised
themselves in such a way that they must either keep silent, or portray indifference,
or, they are most likely in cahoots with the current criminal enterprise which has
seized control of our government, and have thrown their unconditional support 
behind it's ruthless plans to destroy our national sovereignty, and the freedom
and prosperity of the American people forever.

May God have mercy on America.
