5. Unless we start seeing some candidates that represent the people I think we will continue to see

the number of people actually voting continue to decline. We had 750,000 people at our Super Bowl celebration yesterday. Democrats wonder why people pay more attention to sports than to politics. It's because they know their government doesn't listen, doesn't represent them, and won't do what the constituency wants them to do. The entire government is in a corporate sponsored bubble and is out of touch with reality and with the people. At least when your sports team wins the Super Bowl you know a common goal has been reached and both the team and the fans can celebrate together. How often do we get to do that with our politicians?
