America Less of a Democracy Every Day...

First, let me get this straight.

Here is the definition of Democracy:

Quote:
1. government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.
2.a state having such a form of government: The United States and Canada are democracies.
3. a state of society characterized by formal equality of rights and privileges.
4. political or social equality; democratic spirit. 5.the common people of a community as distinguished from any privileged class; the common people with respect to their political power.
In essence, that means that the people have absolute control over thier government. Everything the government does is from what the people want. According to the Declaration of Independence:

Quote:

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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
...we can abolish an abusive form of government at any time if our personal security, liberty, and freedom rights were neglected in any form. Throughout the years (and I'm talking over the past 15 or so), our government has insated laws and regulations that restrict our freedoms, has very recently stopped listening to the voters (you and me, fellow Americans) in an attempt to expose a subjected theory that the 43rd president (GWB) had illegally fired members of the supreme court, which was never the voter's intentions or of their knowledge. We have a supreme-court that has pushed unconstatutional laws that directly affect the lives of the voters (again, you and me). We have had our government let an overpower (the United Nations) who attempts to push many unconstatutional laws, such as the Kyoto Protocol, which the people of the United States have absolutaly no control over. We have had lawyers who pushed laws and amendments that favor one group of people and disregard the rest.


As such, things THIS article show that senators and congressmen/women have overstepped their voter's wishes and opinions to pursue a theory pushed into the legal system by a congress that is not even half a year old.

This and This. The first, is a measure that will levee the economic freedom of buisnesses nationwide, breaking our rights yet again. The second was an unconstatutional attempt to limit the freedom of purchase, ownership, and usage of a weapon (something clearly defined in the Bill of Rights).

THIS. A total breach of personal rights defined by the government, specifically Amendment's II, IV, and IX. 100% Unlawful, with no imput from the people.


Recently, as I have shown, the Senators and Congress have gone on a political joy ride. Let me ask you this: Have any of you ever gone to a voting station to vote on these?
