And the government's job is to establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." So it says, right here in the rule book. I'd say those boys have been lying down on the job for at least 32 years. Americans generally agree that lobbyists, major corporations, and banks have too much power, potentially making them vulnerable to calls for greater regulation. <http://www.gallup.com/poll/147026/Americans-Decry-Power-Lobbyists-Corpor ations-Banks-Feds.aspx> -- Welcome to the New America. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA736oK9FPg> or E Pluribus Unum Green Party Nominee Jill Stein & Running Mate, Cheri Honkala <http://www.democracynow.org/2012/7/13/green_party_nominee_jill_stein_running>
