Is There People Power?

If you want a short answer--then NO, there is no people power. Only the illusion of it. For instance, the immigration bill--they use this to show that people have the power--they point to the flood of emails, faxes, etc in opposition to the latest bill. This was an emotional issue and as such the people spoke out, they are manipulated that way, but let us check reality. The Congress did not have the votes to push it through or those emails would have wound up in the round file.

If they are truly concerned with the power of the people, then why not let them decide all debatable issues? HELL NO! They will only use it when it is too their benefit. The immigration bill is about RACE--white America sees their majority influence in jeopardy and they will speak out and try to prevent themselves from serving from a minority position.

I say if you are so hoped up on people power then put the major issues to them and let them decide--you know like heathcare, abortion, etc? A doubtful occurrance, but it is a thought.
