Why do we have elected officials in the first place?

“We The People” do not elect you to be our moral compass regardless of your beliefs, you were elected to conduct the necessary business so as to protect us, our property and persons so that we can remain secure and safe from both enemies that are within and without our borders.

You were not elected to make a career out of you position nor to come out a lot more wealthy than when you took your oath of office. I for one believe in term limits for all positions both locally and nationally.

If to please the people, we offer what we ourselves disapprove, how can we afterward defend our work? Let us raise a standard to which the wise and the honest can repair; the event is in the hand of God!”
-George Washington

“It’s time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, “We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self-government.” This idea that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power, is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man’s relation to man. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. (October 27, 1964)” Ronald Reagan

As you can see from the previous quotes we must keep our elected officials in check so as to protect our Country.
