As I read through the numerous threads and comments posted here, I am both gratified to see so many well informed people who are passionate about restoring the United States to what it once was, and I'm also astonished that apparently few, if any, have realized that it should actually be quite easy to get our America back, and very quickly too.

Everyone who takes enough interest to join and post to groups like Grassfire - and there are more such web sites every day - all of us have access to a computer. In fact, thanks the Al Gore, who you all will recall "invented the Internet", we have the real power to govern ourselves at our fingertips, for the first time since the beginning of this republic, the real power to govern ourselves completely.

Just think of it! The founding fathers dedicated their lives, their fortunes and their families to the success of our country. They set up the federal government to operate and take care of all our annual business during a few weeks of the summer months, when weather permitted travel to Washington, DC, and they could take a little time off from their real jobs. They took no pay! Actually, Jefferson wrote of his concern about the doom of our freedoms once the Congress realized that they could vote themselves a pay check. So these dedicated public servants took care of all our annual business for free, every year, in just a few weeks each summer. Then they went home, to earn their livings at real jobs. Taking NO pay was a great incentive to get the national work done quickly and go home! They were the last of our true public servants.

But we can restore that system quickly and easily. All we have to do is insist that our Congress takes up the nation's business and presents every single piece of proposed business on a list for National Referendum. That's right! With full national access to the Internet, for the first time in history, every American citizen has the opportunity to vote for every piece of national business. Even those without their own computer can access one at the public library or public school - just like we do when we use an antiquated voting machine in an election. We no longer need to employ excessively paid congressmen and senators, and their millions of staffers. All we need are representatives who go to Washington for a few weeks each quarter to decide what business needs to be addressed, write simple Bills, and present them to the public for referendum votes. We would all vote, similar to a general election, but now by computer/Internet on a list of proposed Bills about once each quarter - every 13 weeks or so. Our votes would be recorded and counted by computer electronically and immediately, with immediate results.

Of course, none of our current lifetime career politicians will relinquish their political power easily. They are all hoping that nobody will ever realize that we can actually govern ourselves. But this is the real form of democratic republic that our founding fathers would have demanded if they had the technology available in 1776. Remember Lincoln? ...Government of the people, by the people, and for the people... Now we can actually have it! All we have to do is insist that the corrupt, career politicians who have been selling us out for the past century get out of the way and enable us to implement our own true democratic republic.

Spread the word friends. We have the technology. We have the means. We have the desire. All we need is the will of the people. And all that takes is for you to tell everyone you know. Let's get started! Let's make it happen!
