Less representation and more personal involvement (#1413)

It seems that if we want something done we must all get involved for it to happen. As has been shown through our dysfunctional political system, representation can only do so much. Another problem with representation is that we individuals are left without while specific special interests get their way. I am all for specific special interests if they are actually the interests of the majority of us, however the specific special interests that do wield influence are not trying to uplift our comprehensive attempts to raise standards of living for all. They in fact are only focused on their own group interest and the rest of us can well accept that. Well, we will not accept that! We are the majority in society that find exclusion through collusion and cliquishness unacceptable. That many of our politicians have been relieved of their respect for all American citizens has become apparent, especially in the right wing. So the question thus becomes, what shall we do? We have been shown the way by actions taken in the past to progress our society. We petition our government to redress injustice, we learn the ramifications of the injustices done to us and advocate to any and all what must be done as a remedy, and most importantly, we forcefully resolve within ourselves our determination to vote. We are the ones who need to advance our society. We cannot leave it for just some to do since as we have seen the forces against the will of the people is powerful and manipulative. We are the change that our President has called us to be and in that we can and should sacrifice what little discomfort we may feel for the larger goal of advancing our society to where it should properly go.
