I am 43 years old. Born and bred in Texas and glad of it. I can't stand the current attitude of our "political leaders". It seems to me that they think they are royality and we should blindly accept what they decide for us.  As soon as they are elected into office it is "all about them" and not about representing us. I cannot believe that WE THE PEOPLE have put up with this behavior this long. I support public whippings for the so called  representatives when they do something unacceptable like voting themselves a pay-raise and immediate public vote to reverse their stupid decisions!!!!!
