How does congress impact your life?

As the branch of the government which makes and passes laws, levies taxes, as well as declares war, Congress impacts us more than any other part of the federal system. Our elected members of Congress are to represent our opinions, and vote for legislation that will be benefit us, and against that which does not. If they fail to do so, we have the ability, through the voting process, to replace them with someone else who will fulfill the goal.
