I wonder how many oregon residents that are members here took the time to call their employees(government officials)? These people work for you don't you know.
I'm baffled that a "republican" introduced this bill without his constituents hanging him from the burnside bridge!
Complacent or lazy?
I contacted him and I dont even live in the state anymore. I gave him clear examples where the VA does not help the vets and were my patients could not get adequate mental healthcare and even a partial solution to that through a change in CareOregon.
But he did not bother to write back.
But that's the norm. It does not matter if you contact your representative unless you are only doing it to agree with them.
There is certainly no democracy in the US and calling the US a representative republic isnt even accurate anymore since we aren't represented, they just make decisions for us based on party platforms
