Did your representative think that Integrity of Votes is important.? You can see how they voted by clicking on the URL listed. Are American voters going to return current members of the US House of Representatives to Washington for 2 more

I hope not.
For most American voters, the choice is simple. If you want people representing you, who believe voter integrity is important -vote Republican. If you don't care who elects your leaders, why would you think voting matters?
