Letter: Representative not listening to voters

The Columbian

Warning to voters: Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas, signed a pledge to conservative lobbyist Grover Norquist that she will never vote to increase any taxes on anyone (including people earning over $1 million per year).

A second “pledge” that she has endorsed is the Susan B. Anthony List, which commits candidates to supporting a strict anti-abortion rights platform, including choosing pro-life appointees to the courts and to the executive branch.

What happened to just a pledge to defend the Constitution?

It is time to defeat and remove all of these politicians who take their orders from someone other than the people they serve.
