our forefathers are gone

The forefathers,with their noble mind wrote a constititution of the greatest magnitude.they could not forsee the emergence of the internet.had they known,they would have wanted us to use it.government by the people was never this close at hand.with ten minutes a day anyone can vote for any bill or bills which might be proposed.congress and senate would be obsolete.laws,good laws would be enacted by popular vote.the governments function would be nothing more than to represent the people and their will.the money saved would put the country into surplus in a very short time.think about corporations,lobbyists,bankers,politicians,gangsters,ect.

They aren't gone. They're still here. We just have to cut loose some of what has held us back for so long -- GOP strongholds.

and they're not forgotten. They had their own problems and they couldn't have imagined the Civil War.
