Why Are People Powerful?

Why are people powerful? We live in a democracy, right? We vote on issues. Or do we? We do get to vote for candidates and the candidates then vote for the issue we favor. That's how it works, right? So is that a democracy? Actually it is more of a Republic...a Republican government if you will.

With this Presidential election coming up, many are confused. Those I deal with do not want Bush to win and want the Democratic candidate, Kerry to win. But how much will things really change? Really it is all up to us. If Kerry wins, we must still fight for our civil liberties and an end to the War in Iraq.

It is in the hands of the people.

This blog will emphasize several issues. Civil Liberties, the People's right to control their lives, resistance to a possible military draft that will include our girls as well as boys,and other issues dealing with the election. Many of my beliefs are Libertarian in nature and sometimes I side with Republicans rather than Democrats.
