When will democracy return?

[Dez]

Our politicians have stolen democracy from us. They do NOT believe in democracy. They take money from corporations to vote a certain way. How can there be democracy when the coporations win the votes every time??
I want to write to my representatives and tell them that the writers of the Constitution would be outraged! They are TODAY'S Left people. I want to tell them how angry I am that they have become millionaires off the money of corporations, at the cost of our democracy.

They all do it too! The Dems do it just as much as the Repugs. I want to ask them when will democracy return to America. The people have no voice, and when will this change? They sold out democracy! What's worse is, they spread this corrupt 'democracy' around the world! America is not the land of the free and the brave any more. Our politicians have turned America into a Police State. Anyone have any numbers on how many police (ALL police) America has? The 11 billion dollars the Drug War consumes could be used for Health and Education. It's a pity, they're more interested in locking up pot smokers than helping people.

1. When we take it back by force.

Not before.

2. Democracy will return when the vast majority become educated...

learn to read a newspaper, learn to listen, learn to think rationally, not before.

But then, I could be wrong.

Violence? I hope not.

3. Term Limits Of No More Than Two Terms For All Political And Judical....

positions combined with abolishing the bribery money from lobbyists and corporations, will help put this ruined democracy back on the right track. America needs to be put back in the hands of the people and not the corporations and it is up to all of us to demand it.

4. How do we do that though??

the only listen to money, and they're the ones making the laws.

5. When you have a large body of people DEMANDING reform.....

it eventually will get done. How can the majority of American people continue to allow the 'in your face corruption' to continue. It will only continue if we allow it.

6. If we keep losing rights, more people will

become outrqaged and speak up. It hasn't gotten bad enough I guess.. IMHO it's totally out of control.

7. The Burning of Diebold.

No paper trail. No democracy.

8. not our politicians -- corporations.

and while i want dems and liberals and socialists of all stripes running things -- until lawsa re passed that truly restrict acces to government by lobbyists, corporate buddies, etc not much will ever change.

yes dems will moderately behave as liberals -- but they will, at the behest of corporations, continue to siphon off the economic and political vitality of the vast majority of americas citizens.

9. "When will democracy return?"

It won't. Not as long as puke companies are allowed to control the counting of ballots. Sorry, but that is how it is. I agree with you about the corporations buying all of the votes in the House and Senate. It's fucking sickening.

10. The Drug War is a perfect example

of what has happened to America. Non violent people are overflowing our prisons in America. We have more people imprisoned than any other country! Land of the Free?? No longer! And the politicians keep voting for harsher penalities for pot smokers, yet their children are protected from Drug War penalities for their 'crimes'. Congress don't pee in a jar, so why should the average American?
