Congress and Assemblies are given representative power.
In the face of the special interests' wealth they cower.
Taking money from the special interests' cult of the sociopath.
The government of America has surrendered to graft.
Time after time they regularly mishandle people's business.
While they curry favor and donations from special interests.
Often, nearly unanimously, agreeing to take this country to war.
But about the interest of the people they hem and they haw.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The liberties of our country,
the freedoms of our civil Constitution
are worth defending at all hazards;
it is our duty to defend them against all attacks.
We have received them as a fair inheritance
from our worthy ancestors.
They purchased them for us
with toil and danger
and expense of treasure and blood.
It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy
on the present generation, enlightened as it is,
if we should suffer them to be wrested from us
by violence without a struggle,
or to be cheated out of them
by the artifices of designing men."
--SAMUEL ADAMS
