I'm tired of spending my personal time writing letters to senators & reps only to get canned responses, if any response at all.

Democracy is a participatory government, but what incentive is there to participate when your "representatives" don't listen to you, don't represent you, don't give a crap about you, except at election time when suddenly your mail box is filled with little envelopes that fit only a check. Then I get discouraged & stop writing & then I feel guilty that I'm not doing anything to make the change I want to see. It's a vicious cycle!

I've come to believe that nothing will change until the majority of Americans are so fed up with the system they take to the gated communities & corporate castles with pitch forks & torches. Unfortunately, I think most Americans are still too comfortable. Only when they are cold & hungry will the revolution begin.
