Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless or corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it’s because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in national legislature. If the next centennial does not find us a great nation it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling political forces.
James Garfield (he said this in 1877)
OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Should we tolerate corruption, ignorance, and disruption?
Is it for We the People our congress remains so reckless?
If we tolerate their acts, cronyism, twisting facts
Does it reflect our own political correctness?
If we disregard immorality in our government with regularity
Should not we question our own when we allow this abuse?
Do we accept the commonality of our county's secularity?
Are we not worried about the developement of our youth?
All in all its up to us to rise up and make a fuss
To disallow our government's indiscretions
It's We the People not We the Sheeple standing tough
We're the ones who must right this misdirection
