I am a lifelong citizen of the United States. I’m also a longtime voter.

I’ve been a taxpayer since before I was old enough to vote.

The entire time that I have been alive I have had a Congressman. As I understand the U.S. Constitution very citizen of the U.S. is entitled to not more than one Congressman.

After all these years I find myself a victim of Congressman Deprivation.

Abandoned

My most recent Congressman has abandoned me. He, not unlike most politicians, put his political ambitions above his obligation to the people he swore to (and was paid) to represent.

My former Congressman has been so busy for the last year that he didn’t have time to represent me. Heck, he didn’t even have time to vote in Congress.

He did have time to appear in the media to tell us how he would have voted had he had time to vote.

But I digress.

My former Congressman is now the highest ranking public official in LA. So, of course, he has even less time for those of us he abandoned.

Options

I have a few options.

— I can wait a few more months until the rest of us abandoned citizens select a replacement for our departed Congressman.

— I could moved into another part of the state. However, that is problematic given the indictment of one sitting Congressman and the fact that another sitting Congressman just quit.

Adoption

Therefore, I’m putting myself up for adoption by some Congressman somewhere in America if there is one with an opening for a constituent.

If you know of such a Congressman please pass on my appeal for adoption. It’s been a while since I’ve had representation and, frankly I need some help.

Thanks.
