Government and the People

When a government founded by the people for the people enacts something that a over whelming majority of its citizens do not want then this is a government controlled by special interests or a government interested in control. The new administration promised us change, fundamental change and transparency in government. Yet they write new legislation, that everyone agrees will have a huge significant effect on America, behind closed doors. Why? Legislation that if passed into law will impact everyone of us and control a significant part of the economy. Legislation that has far reaching tentacles into all of our lives and more control than most of us even know about or realize. Why? If you wonder why like I do I suggest reading some of the bills that are being passed, there's a whole lot that concerns me and should you to!


"Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government. Whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights." "A government afraid of its citizens is a Democracy. Citizens afraid of government is tyranny!" - Thomas Jefferson
