Why have past, modern, and soon to be future generations allowed the US government to go this far? I know what im saying is probably nieve, but its true. Are we so desperate for leadership that we will just sit back and let the government commit the grave injustices we see and hear everyday? Im guilty of it to. I havent done much of anything to put an end to it. Is there anything we can do besides fire off an angry email to our congressmen? Sadly no. There should have been a system to keep the gov. in check when the US was founded. Maybe those were the original intentions, but not anymore. The gov. is supposed to work for the people. As its employer we should fire them. I wish it was that easy. The people of this country should have to vote on every decision, every law, every bill. EVERYTHING. But no, they think American people arent capable of making such decisions. Instead we have to take what they dish out. Rely on some ass clown in the white house, to make the right choices. I hope our day will come soon

Well one of the things that i have always wondered is why as citizens the stuff we vote for federally is petty. We the people should be allowed to vote on important issues such as senate and house raises. Or how about we vote for their retirement plan or what they spend huge hunks of money on without the American peoples approval. Just my thoughts anyway back to your regularly scheduled program .

There was, it's called the 2nd Amendment. Problem is the people of this country have fallen asleep and gotten fat through complacency and ignorance.
