I humbly suggest that as many can, do get involved with local governments. City, county, state commissioners/representatives. School boards need to have more representation of parents rather than careerists looking to make a big splash in their cliques.

WE THE PEOPLE need to return to looking at filling the necessary governing roles as a duty, an honor and a service. The mindset that looks at governing roles as a paycheck, a status booster and a life-long "calling" aka ego trip has, through our lack of attention, provided for an inferior pool of candidates.

Brilliantly said. The people still have all of the power. But too many have forgotten that. I don't vote for a better politician to shovel snow from my sidewalk. I either do it myself or find someone locally who can do it for me. Simplistic? YES! It *is* that simple!
