Only action can bring change

Our brave troops have done their part in defending our country from outside force; now it’s our turn. We are losing our freedom from within because of lack of interest in the affairs of our government and world events. This is the start of the downfall of our country. With only half of the qualified voting, we are losing control of our government to the wealthy special interest groups. We no longer have a government of the people, by the people, but one of the rich and for the rich. This is not entirely the fault of our people or our politicians. Instead it is our political system that breeds corruption and unfair representation, with only the wealthy able to be elected; the voters know that when they are elected they will cater to their own kind.
