Congresswoman Bean has represented the 8^th Congressional District for six years but does not live in the District. Her campaign is mostly backed by Political Action Committees. Our member of Congress does not work or live in our District and owes allegiance to special interest groups. This November the citizens will have a chance to vote in a candidate that only owes allegiance to the people of the 8^th District.

Bean vs We the People

A recent CBS News Poll reported 85% of us disapprove of the Health Care bill passed by Congress, 73% want the Congress to start over, and 80% of us think the Democrats will do poorly in the November 2010 Election.

Thirty-four percent (34%) of U.S. voters say the country is heading in the right direction, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey conducted this week.

The same poll showed Sixty-one percent (61%) of Democrats are optimistic about the nation’s current course, showing little change from last week. Thirty-three percent (33%) are not. Prior to the passage of the health care bill, Democrats were almost evenly divided on the question: 48% said the country was headed in the right direction, and 44% felt it was going down the wrong track.

A solid majority (86%) of GOP voters and 69% of voters not affiliated with either major party continue to think the nation is heading down the wrong track. These findings, too, show little change from the previous survey.

So according to two separate polls it appears the general public is still not in favor of the Health Care Bill or the path President Obama is taking the country down.

So why would our Congresswoman Bean still support this when the majority of the country and the 8th District does not support it?
