the senate was there to represent that states, the house the people and thus 100 years later, no checks or balance but an out of control federal government with no way to rein it in. Of course there's a way to rein it in.

From the Declaration of Independence " That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.".

It starts with the vote and ends wherever it has to!

"The vote" has changed to the point where it's almost impossible for the people to uphold the Constitution through voting.

There are too many who will vote for a candidate simply because said candidate offers something "for free" or "what you are owed/deserve/have a 'right to'". Bull!

I recommend a Class Action suit against this administration for violating the Constitution. If it's possible, why wait until 2010 to hope some of these scoundrels are thrown out? There's no guarantee and we're still stuck with many more of these scumbags.
