  Subj: DEMOCRACY IS DEAD IN THE

When are all you people going to stop lying to yourselves?  When are you
going to realize that the House and the Senate are not working for those
who elected them but for _someone else_?  There is no government of the people,
by the people or for the people.  Democracy in the U.S. is dead.

If it were not so, NAFTA could not have passed.  The Brady Bill would be
dead.  There would be no foreign aid, or troops in Somalia, or U.S. military
men serving under foreign commanders.  Taxes would going down instead of up.
The criminals behind the various banking scandals would be doing hard time.
The revolving door in our justice system would stop.  Executions would take
place day and night until all the murderers in the nation and in our prison
systems were in the cemetery where they belong.  Homosexuals would be back
in the closet.

In every single one of these cases, the overwhelming majority of the American
people are denied their will by a totalitarian government that is no longer
responsive to the will of the people.

Democracy is dead.  This is perfectly clear to anyone with their eyes open.
