It was pointed out to me today that some of the facts maybe inaccurate, so I did some research and decided to remove one of the questions. As for the stats, to be honest I&#8217;m not sure where they came from. However, Congress is made up of imperfect people, and that&#8217;s the whole point. Nonetheless, what&#8217;s important is the message behind this post.
