America is caught up in the symptoms, while ignoring the root causes. So long as it does that, it has no hope of
restoring/repairing this nation—and generally, all it does is make the situation worse.
Root causes of America’s downfall:
1) Critical importance of representative district size – The sabotage of
Article the First and failure to teach
the importance of district size (nationally as well as locally) if we want the
people, rather than powerful special interests, to control the outcome. The House of Representatives was designed to
be the “people’s house”, instead it has become a den of special interests and
thieves.
2) Destruction of the purpose of the U.S. Senate – The 17th Amendment
would never have happened, if people were educated to the importance of item
1). Its passage destroyed the purpose of the U.S. Senate. The Senate was intended to represent the
interests of the states, where Senators were selected by state
legislatures. Instead, they are now
elected statewide and even more susceptible to corruption than the supposed
House “representatives.” The Senate has become predominately an arm of powerful
special interests and thieves.
3) Violating the U.S. Constitution – The failure to hold the federal
government to the limitations on its authority, such as the enumerated powers has allowed our government
to run amuck. Disregard for the Constitution is why the federal government has
usurped control over powers previously those of the states, local
municipalities, or the people. Federal courts now routinely exceed their
Constitutional authority and make law.
Congress routinely creates law at odds with the general welfare. Our system was designed to have a limited
federal (national) government, but since we don’t (or can’t) hold our
representatives accountable, we now have an “unlimited” federal government—ever
more wasteful, corrupt, robbing us of our freedoms, jeopardizing nation
security, and undermining the hearts and minds of the people.
Everything we piss and moan about in regard to the political and social realm
are merely the symptoms, symptoms that stem from these root causes which
are being ignored.
What are we going to do about it?
Unfortunately, I don’t see any hope on the horizon—that is unless we
start meeting on the grass roots level in small groups, and start seriously
considering what we can do. And, unless
we confront and deal with election fraud, we
have little hope.
