The United States is a Constitutional Republic and our Government governs with and by our Consent! Our government has grown so large that it is fast forgetting this important message that was written into our governing documents starting with the "Declaration of independence" and articles of confederation which was replaced with our "Constitution" Reading Thomas Jefferson reminds the reader that the 2nd amendment had nothing to do with personal protection or hunting or sport! it was specifically written to warn government that the people have the right to remove them by force if or when they become unresponsive to the citizens.
As a Constitutional republic our laws were designed to protect citizen minorities from the majority where a democracy has the exact opposite affect and allows any majority to infringe on the freedoms of all minorities!
The best simple way to look at that is 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what is for dinner!
It seems that the world goes in cycles and governments come and go, some governments are based on freedom while others are repressive. Young healthy governments respect freedom and old established ones seen to loose that insight.
Are we fast approaching a time when we must replace the old entrenched government ? IF SO do we have men of wisdom and insight equal to the task like our nation had in 1776 ?
Freedom is not free ! are you personally willing to pay the price for freedom?
Back in 1776 our founders trusted their neighbors but did not trust the kings men who ruled them?
Who do you trust ?

How about making them all 2, 4 year terms. I really do not like campaigns.
The president HAS TO stay at 2 , 4year terms specially with the big O' no more B. O' .
that puts the president at 2 ,4 year terms for a total of 8 years the senate at 2 ,6 year terms for a total of 12 years and the congress at 3 ,2 year terms for a total of 6 years how about congress 5 ,2 year terms for a total of 10 years
Adolfo, I get tired of these campaigns. Maybe 2, 4 year terms.
although yeah I know I can't leave well enough alone ,here goes maybe the congress men should be limited to 4 ,2 year terms yust my thoughts.
Rand Paul has a bill to put term limits on Senators 2 ,6 year terms for senators . #3,2 year terms for congressmen an end to the Carrear criminals er em, carrer politicians ,same thing I thing,maybe not
all but sadly the mayority,and a bill for them not to be able to get paid as in make money for being lobbist. One fix at a time till America is fixed slowly but surely .
Those we have entrusted to govern this land have forgotten the wonder of a government of the people, for the people, and by the people our founders brought to man kind. They are slipping back into the retarded way of rule by an elite few. Will we allow our present government to rule us like the barons, lords, kings, and self proclaimed gods of old or will we resist like our founders did? Do we still have the spirit of 1776 or are satisfied to live like surfs beholding to our rulers?
We all must volunteer to serve on local and state executive committees, vet candidates, walk precincts, work phone banks to elect a veto-proof congress, and then keep in touch with them to make sure they keep the faith of the campaign.
