In this Presidential election year, I wonder how many people actually know/care to know who their Congressional and Senate representatives are. Everyone knows Obama is the Democratic candidiate and McCain is the Republican candidate, but why are so many people disinterested in the other branches of the Federal Government? Why don''t people pay more attention to where their representatives stand on issues? I know most of my peers would not be able to name their representatives and it is quite disheartening. These people arguably play the most important role in legislating most of the issues standing at the forefront of this Presidential election, yet no one seems to care.
Seems like incumbents are re-elected around 90% in both Houses...perhaps more change is needed there.
