It
has been a very long time now since I have felt good about the people
working in Washington DC. I mean the capital city of Washington DC is one of the richest populated cities in our country. Because the people
who work for the American people Government are on the inside of getting
all the Government contracts and perks that go along with the Crony
capitalism that the corrupt politicians running the people’s Government
do there.
Washington DC is very detached from the rest of the American
people, so what are we as a society going to do about it?

What does the American phrase "We The People"
mean?
"We the People" are the first three words of the preamble
identifying those responsible for upholding the foundations of the American
Constitution.
Their intent, articulated by framers of the document, is laid out in the remainder of the preamble, thus: "in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity."
Much debate centers around these frameworks and how they should be interpreted in changing American contexts. However this question doesn't seek to debate the Constitution. It seeks only to understand who these "We the People" the Founding Fathers implied are.
Some orienting questions:
1. Who decides who "We the People" are?
2. Are "We the People":
--Elected officials only?
--Are they only American citizens?
-- Do they include First Nation natives, immigrants and/or expats concerned about America?
3. What responsibilities do "We the People" have?
4. Are these responsibilities divided based on role, task or station in society?

And secondly! Behave according
to your own personal values of morality, and stop going along with the bull
talk of others. Who are saying now that what was once good, is now bad, and what was once
up, is now down. Don’t fall for someone else telling you on television what
your personal moral beliefs’ are?
