Back in the time of the American Revolution, one of the problems that early Americans faced was 'Taxation without Representation'.
Today, America faces a similar problem.
It is 'Representation without the American People'
The Republicans who have won (stolen or otherwise) do not represent us or the vast majority of Americans.
The 'People' are not Big Corporations, Groups that belong to the Christian Right, Polluters, Pharmaceutical Companies. However these groups (and not us) are represented by our people in Congress.
Need proof?
Lawsuit Immunity, Exemption from Taxes, Outsourcing, the legal ability to Discriminate (religious contractors can do this), Contracts in Iraq, and more.
Do the things I have listed above serve us? Or, do they serve someone else?
Whatever the case, I want to go back to the days when Congress served the American People and not groups that are not.
