The federal government has officially collapsed

Where does the government derive it's power from? You guessed it, the people.

What happens when people no longer believe in the insitution? You guessed it, complete collapse. In other words, it no longer has power to persuade or rule over people.

We have three more years till we get to install another government. How come we arent allowed a recall election like they had in California?

Bush has no more power or gas left in his tank. He really is nothing more than a lame duck president now. Impeachment sounds like a grand idea yet the leaves us with Dickhead Cheney.

Americans should call for a recall election of the executive branch!!!!

1. one problem

This government derives its power from corporations.... not people.

3. Those corporations just made a lousy investment

All their business are floating away in the gulf of Mexico. Mainly because they invested in an idiot that thinks the jury is out on Global Warming.

Still, w/o power of the people, and Bush has none now, the fed government can no longer function. The distrust and absolute disbelief is at an all time high.

THose corporations just made the worst investment in their lives and now they know it. A great portion of thier workforce has now been displaced as well. No more Walmart shoppers left in New Orleans, Biloxi and gulf port.

2. Nevertheless, I agree with the premise.

We need to recall this entire government. Bush continues on his merry way with no concern whatsoever for what the public thinks. Enough is enough.

If this Administration no longer represents the people and is no longer able to carry out it's duties in the public trust, then we, the people, need to remove them. If we can't remove them through impeachment, then we should remove them through recall.

THEY WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR CRIMES AGAINST US!!!!!

5. Declaration of Independence spelled this out

This is document that justifies the emergence of the American nation, this is the reason that, 'compelled us to the separation,' with Great Britain: http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/index.htm

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
