True for too many politicians. There are a few who still believe in service to their Nation and their Constituents. I am fortunate to have on of the few, Congressman Ami Bera M.D. I worked for his campaign in 2010, which he lost 2012, which he won, and he has been in Congress ever since. That last campaign on which I actively worked, after that I worked on the East Coast and the mid-west. He always answers my emails, even when we disagree, he explains his position - amazing, right?

Yes, it is amazing. Dr. Bera might be the right person to initiate some "Oath of Honor" in Congress.

I'll suggest that to him!

Thanks. I'll be interested in hearing how an apparently honest representative responds to this. It could end up as a popular platform which in turn propels Dr. Bera to a higher role in government, perhaps the WH though I believe big money at this point would not be receptive to congressional honesty.

I emailed Congressman Ami Bera and asked if he and other members of the Democratic Caucus and even some non-MAGA Republicans would make the pledge not to steal, cheat, or lie while in their role as members of the House of Representatives.. I limited it to that role because most of us tell little meaningless lies, like why we can't go to lunch with a coworker, which is different from saying the Election was fraudulent and Trump really won.
