overnment; a republic."
[1913 Webster]
By this definition we are not being represented correctly. We are being abused by the very people we assigned to stand in our stead. (My niece in Idaho is fighting this very same disease; on a different platform.) I'm certain that in the beginning , none of the participants of abusive behaviour intended such. Circumstantial exercises in lenience toward objectives designed to bolster economical advantages to a production package presented trickle down effects that infected our representative, that up to this point, did what was expected. Look, there are many scenarios I could concoct for you. Though this is what you need to see. A disease like a cancerous growth is devouring our government. We must take on the role of physician and surgically remove this invasive parasite and initiate treatment for rehabilitation and hopefully healing. I hope that this is creating a picture. I further hope you will be instrumental in pursuit of this picture's completion.
