We the People

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

That, for those of you who don’t know, is the opening to the United States Constitution.

I think it is time for the People to start participating in this country, because clearly the parties in Congress are too busy ignoring us except for election years, where they tell us what we want to hear, and then they go back to Washington and do whatever it is that they damn well please.

Well, I have news for the folks in Washington. The People run this country. We always have and we always will. A lot of politicians have forgotten that and along with the media, they’ve made a lot of the People forget that as well.

But we the People run this country. And it’s high time that we take it back from the politicians.
