We expect them to represent us, but they only represent themselves and their pet causes. And so many people are convinced that there is nothign we can do that they sit and do nothign but cast a vote every four years. Until the populace gets motivated and active, the Fed will rule over us as kings and queens.

The republic was set up so that no matter how big the country got it would still be an ideal government. According to John Adams "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." We have a duty to elect Godly people into office and when we do not this is exactly what the founding fathers said would happen. You can not separate the moral character from the man.
The federal government had limited power and states had most of the power. After the 10th amendment most of the following amendments enlarged federal government. We only pay attention to the presidential race. What about the mayor, the chairmen, the governor and so on... The local races are important and where real change will come from.
