It's all about We, the People.

You know, the ones getting wire-tapped, not those doing the wire-tapping.

The ones who have to figure out how to pay for gas and food and rent and copays and deductibles. Not the ones who think nothing of flying off to Europe for a ski vacation.

The ones who pay their taxes and expect some say in their government, not the ones who do everything they can to avoid it and pay directly to the politician of their choice by way of campaign contributions.

The ones who have to worry about outsourcing because the multi-nations have realized its far more profitable to rely on slave labor than pay American workers to do a job.

The ones who came to America because they were told it was the "land of opportunity" only to find themselves despised and deprecated by the people on television and in office every single day.

The ones who work to give their children a better life, only to wake up to find that tuition rates are so high that the only way they can send their kids to school is by sending them into war or convincing them to go into debt for years to do it.

The ones who have no medical insurance, or suffer from illnesses or injuries so debilitating that they'll have a lifetime of debt to repay just to get the treatment they need.

The ones who deserve the chance to live as themselves without the fear of being used as scapegoats by the likes of Pat Robertson or his ilk to explain away the repercussions of imperialistic tendencies in foreign policy.

It's about We, the People, not We, the Corporations. Not We, the Ultra-Rich.

Yeah, it's about the rest of us, who deserve a say in our government.
