Also, you should be much more concerned about who is sitting on the local school board, city council, and other local governments.
I bet you’d be real surprised at what’s actually going on in your backyard by your “elected” leaders. Everyone is so concerned about the federal level they don’t see the city council passing bread bans on Pit bulls because a Labrador took some kids face off.
Or how about giving radar guns to citizens to track speeding cars on residential streets? Or putting in a Wal-Mart in a residentially zoned area because the council didn’t read the fine print? All things that have happened in my area that I would guess 90% of the “voters” have no idea about.
