Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander are the Senators for Tennessee. The Congressmen for Tennessee are: Diane Black, Steve Cohen, Phil Roe, Marsha Blackburn, Jim Cooper, Scott DesJarlais, Jimmy Duncan Jr., Stephen Fincher, and Chuck Fleischmann
I did some research on Steve Cohen and I was really pleased with some of the information I found. He is a huge advocate of people’s rights. Cohen has even won awards for his work in helping against domestic violence, legal representation for those in need, etc. I support the rights of the American citizens because we as a whole are vital to our country. A country cannot function as a democracy without supportive citizens and Cohen keeps the government from stepping on the toes of our rights therefore keeping us content.
Reading up on Jim Cooper’s ideas about spending cuts left a bad taste in my mouth. Not only does he want to cut back on the Medicaid and Social Security funds, but there is also talk of tax increases that he would like to implement. Although I do agree the country's spending has gotten out of hand, I don’t think he is choosing the right places to cut funds from.
I agree with you about the rights of citizens being extremely important.
ReplyDeleteSeems like Jim Cooper doesn't want to help anybody. Taking money from the elderly who need it and raising taxes on an already overtaxed population leaves a bad taste in my mouth too. Sounds like someone is in trouble when the next election rolls around. Thanks for bringing this up.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Democracy cannot exist without the participation of the citizens. If everyone stops participating our Democracy will fail leading to a failure of government.
