How do you propose that we, the American people, get Washington to listen our wants and needs?
In order to get things actually done to our betterment.
The American people need to become politically active. Go to meetings, bring people to the meetings, discuss, work for and with the groups you want to support.
No-one should sit on the sidelines. The Republic is ours and we need to see ourselves as the bosses in this country. Politicians are mere employees. If they cannot explain their reasons to act effectively then we need to vote for people who will.
It won't take many years for incumbant politicians to see that their job is on the line every election if the people keep a close eye on them and vote them in or out according to their abillities and success.
We the people cannot let the politicians off the hook for one moment, by letting them do what they want without explanation. That is the fundamental promise of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. That Government serves the people and power is only given under the consentof those people.

How open are you to a MAJOR change in American politicsIf we want to change washington, we have to change ourselves first. We have to change our expectations. We have to raise them. Washington's results mirror our expectations, and polls show we don't expect much.

I listened to both Democrats and Republicans get up and give the same speech as they prepared to vote on articles of impeachment. Democrats got up and gave the same speech: our President should be impeached because he did bad things. Republicans got up and gave the same speech: the process is...

As a American Veteran I used to support the Democrat Party but over time I changed to the Republican Party. But I have always been the type of person to really investigate and as I began to check into what both parties were saying I began to realize that both parties are lying to the American...

I believe he should resign. I didn't like the actions that brought him into the public eye but realize this proves he is human. His willingness to lie to the very people who elected him to office proves he is nothing more than a politician.I understand he is seeking help and I feel this has more to...
