We the People

“We the People of the United States,…”

I think that it is very important to point out the capitalization in the Constitution. Our founding fathers were by no means illiterate. They were very capable of writing correctly. They chose to capitalize certain words throughout the Constitution in order to emphasize the importance of those words and the concepts behind them. We the People; the representatives chosen by the people in order to represent those same people in their beliefs and concerns and in order to address the beliefs and concerns of all of those who live in this great nation in the founding of this great document that will govern thousands, millions, and perhaps even billions in the future. These fifty-four representatives had one of the most important jobs in the history of the planet and they took it very seriously and they accomplished their objective with the concerns of every single constituent in the forefront of their minds. They selflessly volunteered in order to prevent the people from being taxed and to establish a government that would not tyrannize its people as their previous government had oppressed them.

Have we forgotten the concept of "We the People"? Do we, the United States, not govern ourselves? Are we more subject to our Elected leaders than they are to us? What is it about "We the People" that is so confusing? It is about time that We took control of our government and let our elected officials know that they are to keep OUR interests at the forefront of their minds. This political game needs to stop. We need some officials who are not afraid to offend EVERYONE who disagrees with their constituents beliefs. The elected officials are in their respective offices to support the goals of the people. NOT for self gain.
