[Peace-discuss] Why do people believe in Congress?

[n.dahlheim at mchsi.com]

National politics is most definitely the dead leading the dead.  Considering their fealty to large corporate 
and financial interests, Congress cannot be counted upon at all to consider the opinions of ordinary 
citizens too seriously.  Trying to change Congress and paying too much attention to them in the hope of 
them actually enacting substantive changes will only leave a person disappointed.  Something else must 
clearly be done.
