Hi John,

We've seen it over and over again – those in Congress who speak out against the administration face a strong backlash, often by the president himself. And that means that members of Congress are more worried about pleasing the president than they are concerned with serving the needs of their constituents. 

RepresentUs asked political commentator Aaron Parnas to break down what is happening and why.

Staying silent to keep their job can no longer be an option. It's time to tell Congress to stand up and have the courage to do what's right.
