Rotunda Response

According to a recent Gallup survey, the number 1 issue in America today is not marijuana legalization, it is not immigration, nor is it homosexual rights. No, the one thing Americans take the greatest umbrage in is the American government. Our government has been perhaps the least effective in it's young history than it has ever been. The country faced a catastrophic shutdown in the wake of our politicians' petty bickering. No major laws have been passed, however hundreds have been blocked. Why is it that we elect these representatives who don't seem to represent us at all?
