The United States Constitution provides for a Republican form of Government, instead we ended up with a bunch of weasels on the Federal and State level who once elected with our votes do everything they can to pass one legislation after another to oppress us and this is certainly not what we expect of them and not what our Constitution mandates. We, the neglected and oppressed people, do have many Constitutional rights which we can use to liberate ourselves. It makes no sense to find any other untried ways to seek for redress of grievances other than use means well written in the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Any other form of activism will be self-defeating as our enemies, those in Government, would like to jail all of those who dare to challenge their illegal status. Basically we have in the United States a little more than 500 legislators in the Federal Government (U.S. Congress). These few people control all aspects of our life and so far over the 200 years few citizens have really put up any serious challenge to their oppression. People just felt all along that it was not possible to face-off a formidable Government and that they had to go along with all the unconstitutional,inhumane and oppressive laws that their so-called representatives in Government wanted to pass to keep the population under their control instead of serve and protect. The question is, whose Country is this? Who owns the United States of America? The people or the evil politicians who have betrayed their oath of office by becoming dictators? The answer,of course, is that we the people have absolute power over this Country and NOT our elected politicians. The irony is that we ,the people, by electing and re-electing the same oppressors, indirectly become co-conspirators for our own oppression even though we are full aware that these politicians on the Federal and State level are NO GOOD for us. WHICH AGENDA? Well, we see all the time and are used to seeing people running for office, the different political offices,and they present themselves as though that they want to be elected to help us and they show us a long list of things which they claim that they will accomplish once and if elected. In other words,it's their own agenda which they want to put forward and it doesn't have anything to do with what the people want ! The fact is that in a Republic like ours,on paper at least, it doesn't work like this. This farce of "representative" Government cannot go on..but the politicians got away for centuries fooling the people! They say : "Vote for me sucker, and once elected hell with all of you ,I'll do what I want whether you like it or not". In fact this is actually what happens in the United States of America and all other so-called "Democratic" Countries. Really, the will of the people , in substance, amounts to not much. Yes,these people in Government, once in a-while do something which is supposed to make us feel good, but it's only marginal. We literally have to beg those who are in their position of office because of our votes, to call for their non-existent attention and care. If at times through vocal complaints they seem to want to listen, it's like as they are doing a favor for listening instead of taking it as an obligation to pay attention to what we have to say and follow trough our wishes and desires and to pass laws which reflect our will only and not their self interests. We must stop these abuse of power and we must do it now. We cannot wait for another 500 years! Let's concentrate on some specifics. SEE NEXT... cc; 2005-Basic Rights Foundation.
