Voters elect representatives to uphold the United States Constitution, protect our rights, and represent our views. By taking the oath of office, legislators pledge to demonstrate integrity.
If California legislators can change their votes on key bills in order to toe the party line in camera then hype their consistency on core issues, they reveal their disrespect for their communities. Claiming to vote on bills before reading them for the sake of expediency, the legislators’ failure to stay current on legislative matters exposes their sole commitment: getting reelected.
If Politicians get to change votes in one day, then voters should be allowed to change their minds about politicians with the same rapidity and vote them out when their integrity gets swept away in vote-switching.
