Concerned Quote by Jeff Flake

“You can't always say what's popular and you ought to go with it. I think that's why the founders were concerned about direct democracy. That's why we have a republic and that's why we have representatives who who are supposed to look at the issues and to look out for the next generation as well.” quote by Jeff Flake — Download Open image
