 Poll: Do You Know Who Represents You?Posted on Sep 15, 2011
David Sirota got us thinking with this tweet: “My guess is that 50% of political [junkies] who follow every shred of news about Obama/GOP don’t have any idea who their state legislator is.” Do you know who represents you in your statehouse? (Just to be clear, we’re asking if you know who represents you in your state legislature, not who represents your state in the federal government.)

You know, my tutor seems to be really cruel. She gets me complicated research papers writing assignments. Thus, I need to utilize the essays help service to buy custom essays at. My rates are generally the best.

Your dollar is your vote. Don’t give your dollar to ANYONE who might use it toward improper lobbying.

Yes, I know who they are. But it is a stretch to say they represent me. They are well groomed republi-bots in all cases. I am, alas, from KS. The local Chamber of Commerce tells them what they think.

I knew who my State Rep was (Dana Rohrbacker) when I was residing in Orange County CA. I am now living in Dublin Ireland and I know all three reps in my constituency. Unfortunately for the Poll the people who log on to TD would be more than likely to know who their rep is…..So I am not really sure who representative it is…... cheers

Hello, the people who don’t know don’t vote.
And if you think voting doesn’t matter, I suggest you visit Maine and study what has happened to our state government. I used to have a very good state representative, and now I have someone who is sitting on one of the nationwide task forces charged with privatizing everything. We have gone so backward in this state in less than a year that it’s breathtaking.
If you think regular Democrats are bad, and I do, just try living with something even worse.

Would knowing who they were have any bearing or impact
Report thison how they vote? A better question would be “Do you
know who supplies their bribes disguised as campaign
contributions?”

David Sirota’s disingenuous Democrat push poll asks: “Do you know who represents you in state government?” ... with no valid answer button provided.
If you are not a corporate person you have no representation!

You let off another choice ; Nobody represents me
I do not make enough campaign contributions, or have enough lobbyists to even show up on the radar screen.
too funny, represents me ?
