The failure to amass constituent support for government reform… is the result of leadership’s refusal to support and resource reform. The public constituency for reform is ripe… it is present… but it needs to be groomed and developed... organized and supported… with the backing of a major political party, or a cabal of individuals, with the resources to convince the public that their support will make a difference.
The public must believe their efforts for reform will not be betrayed… They need to know their efforts will not be abandoned on the field, for a lack of resourcing, or manipulative and fickle leadership. Recall ‘Brave Heart and William Wallace, the Scottish rebel, who was betrayed by the Scottish lords in 1305… the Public is not willing to repeat history with their son’s and daughter’s lives at risk.
In the past, political parties were organized from constituencies with common interests. However, today the major political parties are not there to serve their constituent's INTERESTS or the common good of the public. The political parties of today exist to finance and maintain the party 'elite’ and their HOLD-ON POWER. They maintain a closed system of political hacks at the helm of government, who serve a plutocracy, not the public. The interests of the Political Parties have become the source of tyranny and the People are approaching the point of rebellion… no longer willing to finance a corrupt plutocracy or a new-age aristocracy they demand reforms.
If the political party system in America served the PUBLIC… the party leadership would be focused on saving the Republic, not on manipulating their constituency to maintain a corrupt system of government. As the famous Scott, William Wallace, once chided the Lords of Scotland: "The people don't exist to support your interests. You (The Lords of Scotland) exist to support the people...” Or words to that effect.
The Leadership in our current Political Parties could learn from Wallace… It is leadership that must serve the people, not the other way around. For liberty and freedom to reign in a nation, its leaders must have the willing consent of the people to govern. The Lords of Scotland, then and today, need to serve their constituency; in doing so, they secure the best interests of all parties governed… securing the People’s voluntary consent to the government, legitimizes the authority of leadership. Currently, we have illegitimate leadership and a nation at risk of dissolution.
The constituency for change and reform is present in the fields of America… the seeds of liberty remain on hallowed ground, they lay fallow and need tending and nurturing.
Our leaders need to plow again the fields of liberty… to bring back a harvest of liberty and the bread of freedom to our homes in America. We must return to tend the fields of liberty if our children and their children are to eat of the bounty of our forefathers… if this great land called AMERICA… is to remain the citadel of liberty and the lighthouse of freedom... The People and legitimate leadership must demand it ... they must repair the breach in the wall of liberty and remove the despots in the citadels of our liberty... We no longer have time on our side.

Where is the GOP and why are they failing to organize public demonstrations... demanding resignations and specific legislation.
Silence, the testament of the defeated speaks out to the Nation...Will America remain silent, as she endures the dismantling of the Republic? It appears we will...
Where have the pioneers of Liberty gone... the children of the mighty men and women who broke soil in the wilderness of this vast nation... wrestling with adversity they tamed the wilderness and left an indelible mark on history. Their legacy is now in doubt... as the People seek to bargain their liberty for security... and receive neither.
