America is a beautiful country with more potential than any other place on this planet. We do however have some major problems.
It's people like you that ruin this country. People that complain about the political process yet fail to do anything about it. When is the last time YOU read the constitution? That is the problem here. YOU have the power to change this country, except you choose to sit on the sidelines.
If only 1% of all American's bothered to learn just a little bit about our political system and actually checked up on the voting records of our elected officials, we would have something infinitely better.
Our founding father's created an amazing constitution, the framework of country. But that's just it. It's only framework. The people need to fill in the gaps.
You are standing back looking and the framework saying that it doesn't work, yet the reason it doesn't work is because you standing back and looking at it. You need to step forward and become part of it!
I doubt you even know who your representatives are, or what their stand is on specific issues. THIS is the problem with this country.
So instead of bailing out, abandoning the problem that YOU are contributing to, get educated and get involved.
This is for the people BY the people.
I feel saddened that you don't even realize that you hold the key.
