The Short Answer

Time. QQ before I begin – without going to Google, who is your rep in the House? Your Senator? Your city commisoner? I'm going to guess you got at least 2 of those wrong. Bills which are being considered for vote can be thousands of pages long. There are dozens of those bills being considered everyday in committees and the actual voting floor. Congressmen have staffs of people who's only job it is to help them write and understand the bills that are coming up for a vote. Remembering my first question, do you believe that you have enough time to read thousands of pages a week in order to be well informed enough to vote on EVERYTHING?
