Look at the big picture. I agree that people should use the voting power they have, they should have been for 100 years. Generally we see less than 50% turnout nationally. But since say 1970, with either a Republican or Democrat in office, the only differences we have seen are in social issues that in the grand scheme of things aren't that important. All the protests and public redress of grievances have done nothing to change the course of this country. Nearly 17 trillion in debt and growing. The dollar is actually at risk of losing its reserve status. Collapse is spoken of in real terms on main stream media. I think the leadership have demonstrated quite clearly that they care not about our concerns. Their actions are purely destructive. They cannot be measured by their words.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Do you feel as though the leadership is acting in such a way that their powers are derived from the consent of the governed?
