Of course you were. It was on the House floor. Did you call your representative? That's how it works in a republic. (If you did, I'd be curious for the rep. From what I heard, the call sheets were blank.)

My representative does not represent me. In fact I’ve never seen a representative from my state that did since I reached voting age like 30 years ago. Every time I write to them about the issues that matter to me I receive obviously canned responses that show that the most their staffers ever read is the first couple of sentences, if that. This whole Congress thing is bullshit to create an illusion of representation while the congresspeople actually cater to their lobbyists and the security state.
