“Sorry but a military coup would make america like the third world. It´s still a democratic republic!”

If this is a Democratic Republic, why does the government ignore the people? It doesn’t seem to fit the Democratic Republic definition any more.

The question of the day! It seems to me that everything we have done so far..attending peaceful rallies; emailing, writing, calling, faxing our reps; none of it is working. The health care monstrosity was passed when we the people did NOT want it. WHY are they not listening? And HOW do we stop this, when all efforts thus far have failed? I am very, very scared right now..for my children, for my family and friends, and for my country. I have begun to feel hopeless..what we have done so far has been to no avail. Those that run the country right now are doing whatever they want..they don’t give one whit what we the people think! Doesn’t anyone else believe that the elections in November will be rigged to keep these people in power? Why wouldn’t they do that..they have done everything else against our wishes!

Yes this is a problem (btw. a problem every western country
shares). Politicians think that the usuall citizen is just a sheep and should be/IS treated like this :-(
And they usually only care about what the people think (at least they promise to do so) in front of a election. But then again who do we think we are? So shut up and pay your taxes! /s This is all they are interested in. But on the positive side they are still forced to ask us from time to time because of elections who we think will do the less damage to our countries ;-) since they are all politicians.
