when are we going to start taking back some of the power our city, state, and u.s. gov. keep giving themselves

After either Marshall law, or we can't afford the gas to go to Starbucks! (everyone knows that silly)

Washington is a federal city. It was awarded self government. However other than the USA Government located there  there is none.\nHopefully some day the feds will make this a truely federal city and remove the scum living there and reclaim it.

Because, unfortunately, we don't have the power...in Congress,the Republicans won't do it, democrats can't and wouldn't if they could.  Corporations hold the power..corporate personhood needs to be revoked.  \n\nThe only power we have are the following two:\n\n1.voting (and we don't have that anymore--trust me--I have been working on this in Ohio since the stolen election of 2004).  We will only have that restored via paper ballets hand counted at the precinct...no electonic machine or tabulators and they cannot be sent anywhere to be counted..this will only happened if the vast majority of the population demands it ...backing it up with their money and boycotts and huge rallies in the street.  Two companies--ESS and Diebold count 80% of the vote.  They are owned by 2Republican brothers/CEOs who keep the softeware secret.\n\n2. Our only other power is economic and now Bush wants to do away with this --when the illegal aliens had the immigration protest rallies and had VERY successful boycotts shutting down several companies..my newspaper (columbus dispatch) reported Bush said something to the effect that this was unfair to the businesses and laws would have to be passed preventing this from happening again...wants to take our one remaining power..organized boycotts and how we spend our money.\n\nMmoney is all we have left powerwise and if you don't have money they will soon elininate you via the concentration camps FEMA has built..Katrina was the practice run..\n\nAlthough he may be of low IQ, he is smart enough to steal away many of our rights and two elections,transfer most of the wealth to the rich, do many of his political payoffs, etc in the shortest time ever...Do you think he cares if we think he's stupid (he rarely reads/hears what we think) if he accomplishing his goal of making the rich richer, going towards facism, etc.. .perhaps the stupid thing is an act...I would worry so much about removing him because he's ignorant, but because he's DANGEROUS.  Thanks for the question.

No, our job is not done. How can you start helping a country then back out when you're in the middle of doing so? Only a sissy ass liberal would do a thing like that. GOD BLESS USA & GW!

There is alot that the Government hides from us.  They hide it because they are afraid of us.  We really have the power....the more people DON'T know this the MORE they can control us!

Couple of answers here may be right for the states those folks live in, and you didn't say what state you're in, so I'll just add my two cents and be done.\n\nIn California, I'm sworn to do my job by the city I work for, but my authority comes from the state.

Super powers only last a short time, and the enemy within are our politicians, and the liberal media, and the ACLU, they are going to be the down fall of this nation, by not protecting us from the invasion that's going on, and not having the balls to stand up to the small minority groups that protest. It is suppost to be majority rules. Not small little groups that don't get their way. It's time to vote them out.

In a few cases that may be true but the way our country is now being run has a lot of peop;le upset and I for 1 do't bnlame them one bit It's time for the people of this country to start doing some serious house cleanig in washington D.C. and in their state and local govements. Its supposed to be ga governmemt of for and by the people. not government for by and of politacians and Fat cats

Well there is only one Electric Company in my City, and most of my State. The oil companies ruling oil prices, Water, sewage, Laws that you can't have farm animals in the City limits, or allow them into the City. SBC the telephone company has all the rights in my City so your at their mercy as well. There is no separation in the Military any more with Bush's new Law about who leads the Military, CIA, FBI, and the UN ambassador. We only have one cable company, Walmart is really "HUGE" concerning the outsourcing. The breaking of Unions to be able to outsource, since there is no vote, and that isn't American. If there is a draft that is obviously coming, that will be another issue for the youth of America. It's on and on, and really to big to discuss on these pages. Americans are being shoved around like cattle. LOOK at the Hurricane Katrina, and the War.

There is absolutely time for a change! There needs to be another party that will do the will of the people. Instead of them spending us into bankruptcy. This goes for both sides of the isle. They need to get rid of the perks they have voted for themselves.It is a part time job! We need to secure our borders and protect domestically first. We are not the saviors of the rest of the world when it come to money or our military. We The People must stand up and get only the best for our nation. We must get rid of the cancers that are infesting our nation today! \nJust my opinion --aught to be yours!

I think Texas thinks it already is. I guess America could allow it to revolt and then destroy it, and just take it back.

Its yet again just one more small loss of freedom.  I can't wait until we need passport to travel from one state to another WITHIN the US.

the only day you have any power over your government is on voting day. then after that you have no power. they can promise you the whole world the day before election but there is nothing there to say they will have to keep there promises after you vote.and they can keep on lying for the next 4 or 5 years and you cant do anything about it . oh what a great democracy we live in . we are just numbers to them. they need spin doctors to make there lies sound convincing. and we pay for them to.
