Is your Senator up for reelection in 2014?

When is the last time you spoke to your US Senator? I wanted to schedule a meeting during the health care debate and only could meet with her in DC. Her staff didn’t know when she would be back to NC.

I called and emailed and never did get to speak with her or be notified when she would be back in the Charlotte area. I did know of her travels back to NC until after she was here and went back to DC.

Senators have 6-years to make a difference for us. Kay Hagan has NOT made a difference over the past 6-years. I would suggest that we should make a difference.

Now that she is up for election, I see her presence on all different types of websites. Most senators are ineffective and have little to offer. They are more interested in their legacy than their constituents. I am sure to remind myself that most Senators work for only those that vote for them and will only meet if convenient for them, true or false?

Why would we vote for an incumbent to go back to Washington DC (either party) to solve the problems when they are part of the problem?

Why do we call them Senators after they are voted out of office?

They have put themselves on a pedestal and we are supporting their arrogance.  Even Senators are sheep and their free thinking is limited but we continue to vote in incumbents.

Let’s review examples of her accomplishments:

S.RES.150 : A resolution to designate the year 2013 as the "International Year of Statistics".

Health Care ----

"Today, the Senate passed a health care reform bill that reduces costs, expands coverage, and provides stability for North Carolina families," Hagan said. "It prevents insurance companies from taking away your coverage when you get sick or discriminating against people with pre-existing conditions. The bill reduces the waste, fraud and abuse that currently exists in the delivery of care, and it will save our country money by decreasing the mounting federal deficit. As we move forward, I will continue working to ensure that North Carolina's families, seniors and small businesses have a seat at the table."

When pressed about whether she would back the health care law if she had another chance, Hagan said: "Yeah, I would vote for it again. People have to realize that the cost of health care was getting out of reach for everybody."

If you are not from NC, are you pleased with the accomplishments of your Senator? Did they listen to you? Have you talked with them? Have you seen them in person? Do you think they represent the majority of you in your state?

The last election was important and it was. But this year, our vote will either define us as individual thinkers or as tired worn out sheep waiting for the next fleecing. Not to vote is to vote!

Wake up America!
