Time to restore what the forefathers had set up and said that one day we may have to fight for it.

Thomas Jefferson was not wrong about tyrants. He was prophetic. APATHY has allowed us to get to the sad point we are at today.

The country IS set up to be a REPUBLIC. It is time to return to that honorable and most admired form of government the world has ever seen and envied.

Time to expose those who would destroy for their own personal gain and re-take back our nation and country as a nation of laws and where people have rights and we elect people in our areas to represent OUR WISHES, not to retire with huge lifetime pensions and millionaires.

Set term limits of one term for Senate, two for the House. NO pensions. No exemptions from laws.

One step further. Repeal every single law that infringes on the rights of people. Period.

Every single one of them.

Add a BALANCED BUDGET amendment to the Constitution AND ELIMINATE EXECUTE ORDERS.

NO MORE CZARS, period.

Back to basics with a SECRETARY over a department period, who must be approved by BOTH houses of Congress with a two thirds majority vote both houses.

This eliminates the partisan hacks and loading from both parties as we have seen.


Okay, I am off my soapbox now.....

'Supposed to be' a republic...

The U.S. is neither a perfect republic nor a direct democracy, but a mishmash of those two plus plutocracy. Current trends have made it clear that we're a republic in name only. The real power lies with nameless unelected individuals who hide behind curtains and may not even be American.

I would agree with you that the nation was 'supposed to be' a republic - but for the fact that in a republic, citizens do not lose rights when tried and convicted by a court or targeted by a drone-wielding President. They are sovereign, and no entity or collection of entities has rights exceeding theirs.
