I didn’t want to spend Super Bowl Sunday thinking about the very bad things that are happening across America, but when you’re in the judicial reform movement, you get things sent to you that most people cannot even imagine. At least, not until it happens to them or to one of their family members. I got another one this Sunday morning.

I’m sorry to ruin your day, but I’m compelled to act. I’m compelled to fight against the horrors of tyranny and oppression. Tag, now you’re it. If you’re brave enough to face reality, then read on. If not, remember, if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem! I wish that sticking your head in the sand could save you, but it won’t. So, I’ve got a couple of questions for you.

What happens when the votes are "counted" in secret on machines? Do the people have the power to control the government or do those who control the machines have that power? Do the people have the power to remove bad governors or do the machines that those governors control just keep them in office? Would the governors do things that they would not do if the people had the power to vote them out of office? Have you ever heard the saying, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely?

What happens when those in power are not accountable to the people? ......

or with a deep of anomie... aka social isolation

Our buildings and city design is meant to increase that

5. For almost 8 years now I have wondered what happens when,

in a representative government, the representatives do not represent those people that they are supposed to and instead represent big business and corporate interests, etc. ?

Kay Bailey Hutchison and Cornyn in TX are examples of this. I used to write them and write them and months later receive these automated letters that don't address the things I wrote about initially and instead are full of right-wing talking points.

So, when those people in the US Congress who are supposed to represent the American people instead choose to go about their own agenda...what is the solution?

6. Vote them out and find candidates from within our own ranks.

7. I used to think people needed to be qualified to run for office. Now, I think they just

need to think!
