There's a very good reason to why.

This video is worth watching as she describes the power Citigroup has in Washington. Man, is it scary!

Waste of time?

Anyone who has actually voted knows that national offices are only one part of a ballot. Of far greater importance and relevance to a voter are the local elections and ballot questions.

Because if you don't vote there is an absolutely zero percent chance you can work to fix the problem.

Our government is still by the people.. but only if the people care.

Anatomy Of The Deep State

Quote:

There is the visible government situated around the Mall in Washington, and then there is another, more shadowy, more indefinable government that is not explained in Civics 101 or observable to tourists at the White House or the Capitol. The former is traditional Washington partisan politics: the tip of the iceberg that a public watching C-SPAN sees daily and which is theoretically controllable via elections. The subsurface part of the iceberg I shall call the Deep State, which operates according to its own compass heading regardless of who is formally in power."

Deep State is a more formal moniker to describe the Shadow Government.

We The People are no longer in control and we haven't been for a very long time. Writing to an elected rep is like pissing into the wind. All you're going to get is wet, smelly and a form letter apologizing because the Senator or Congressman you wrote to will claim that he/she can not interfere with the bureaucracy on your behalf. Probably the reason why Gabriel Gifford got shot in the head.

The government is a monster and it will not obey...
