What we have ignored is what citizens can do and the importance of real involvement of the people versus just having somebody in Washington make a rule.

Washington has been ignoring this issue for too long.

People are fed up with the career politicians who created this mess or failed to prevent it and neither was acceptable, and the only way we could change that was by sending a different type of person to Washington.

In the rush to become all things to all people, the federal government has lost sight of its core responsibilities. As a result we're stuck in this frustrating paradox where Washington actually neglects things it's clearly supposed to be doing, while interfering in other areas where they are neither welcome nor authorized.

We have a paralysis in Washington that's not serving our country. We have to address these issues.

Caring about policy is important - people in washington forget.

I didn't come to Washington to be part of the problem.

Washington politicians should not be treated any differently than any other American. That's what people are fed up with.

I'm sorry that we have to have a Washington presence. We thrived during our first 16 years without any of this. I never made a political visit to Washington and we had no people here. It wasn't on our radar screen. We were just making great software.
