Who does she represent?

On March 23, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers posted a Facebook request for stories about how Obamacare has made things worse for Americans. What she got instead were literally thousands of responses about how this program has improved health care.

These responses came from people who are grateful that they now have health care. In many cases, it made a life-or-death difference. Other responses came from health care professionals, all lauding the Affordable Care Act.

McMorris Rodgers responded by posting a video the next day where she cited exactly four stories that were negative about Obamacare. Not one word about the thousands of supporting stories. Clearly she is not listening. If she is, then she clearly does not care what her constituents have to say.

McMorris Rodgers is not representing us. Who then, is she listening to and representing?
