Looking for your Congress person ?
Try Jerusalem !

I've known for decades that they
weren't my Congressperson/Senator, and who they worked for,
AIPAC being only one of the largest money and power flows that
controls even who gets to run for office much less whether they
get media or bank funding to be able to run a campaign.
Did you know that 5 candidates made it to the primaries last
pResidential sElection season without ANY Party support OR
Banker or MSM (Main Stream Media) support? 3 Were Democrats and
2 were Republican. Some people heard a little about Ron Paul or
Dennis Kucinich, but though their own parties or the MSM, it was
only to belittle them, yet their voting records are so
dissimilar to those who get the attention of AIPAC and the
International Bankers and International Corporations funding,
you'd think it was a completely different Countries Political
process altogether.
Unless your looking for who is running, instead of sitting at
home expecting the information to be delivered to you via one of
the Corporate Political Parties or the MSM, you'd never know
that we actually had candidates who actual voting record (not
the lying claims PAID Political Talking heads made) showed that
they represented us.
Of course, it is easier to just sElect between the choices
offered you, neither one is going to pay you 1/1000 the
attention or representation, they'll give a foreign Government.
Feel free to share.
Input your Zip code, and your representatives will show up,
click on them, and then click on their voting record. I consider
their political compass the most important of all, as that tells
you where their stance is on the issues, and I no longer vote
for anyone that doesn't want us to know where they stand.

Here's a little help separating fact from fiction.

This is still set up from the last pResidential sElection
process, I call it as such, due to... well tell me when you've
finished filling out the survey if you even know the candidates
that ran, and they all paid for advertising at the same rate as
those who got the nod/funding from AIPAC.

Here's another good one. Are you as Liberal, or Conservative as
you think?

A little work on your part, and you won't have have to rely on
the Government of Israel or AIPAC to make the best choices for
you, in your country.
And if all else fails, take a look at what the political
cartoonists are saying. They rarely support anyone, as they are
noted for caricature of those who are 'off enough' to aid them
in making a living. (How many wouldn't have been able to feed
the kids if Sara Palin/Clinton/Coulter/Pelosi/Bush/Obama/Cheney
hadn't been as forth coming with materiel for them to write
about?)
