Why can we not see as a country what is happening to us. Is it the media and the money? Is it the power elite who do not want us to get involved and discover that their only interest is in getting reelected?. That, they will do anything to be reelected. Maybe we the people have just given up on congress. The problem is that is just what they want. They want to have their power uncontested. They want to do as they wish not as we wish.
