Most of these politicians are able to pay for their own security. My caveat is that they get security provided by the government while Congress is in session.

During any recess, they pay for it out their own pockets.

This is just more of an Us vs Them situation...where the politicians get something not afforded to their constituents!

Protect the people first!!!
