How can I be a proud American with such an U.S. congress?

It is quite remarkable when a country is spending billions of dollars on three wars but sees the need to save money when it comes to rescue their own population.

On Tuesday Sep 13, 2011, the Reuters News Agency reported that the number of Americans living below the poverty line rose to a record 46 million 2010.

On October 21, 2011 a divided Senate rejected two jobs initiatives supported by the president on Thursday night and President Obama issued a midnight denunciation of the political gridlock.

All Senate Republicans voted NO to teachers being in Americas classrooms.
All Senate Republicans voted NO to bringing more police officers to the streets of America.
All Senate Republicans voted NO to having more firefighters.
All Senate Republicans voted NO to construction workers getting to work on the ‘crumbling’ infrastructure.

ALL SENATE REPUBLICANS VOTED NO TO BRING EMPLOYMENT TO AMERICANS.

I ask myself, what kind of people did we elect to the U.S. Congress?
Are these politicians only interested in their own well-being?

How can I be a proud American when my country is failing its own people, especially the 46 million poor people?

Lets kick them all out and replace them with politicians who care about ALL American people!
