Quote by: bishop imo, you cannot separate the government from the public - especially since the public votes the government into power. the government is a product of the public, and therefore becomes an example of our nation.

However, that said, not all people are enfranchised. So can it be said that the government represents all citizens? I think it is important to separate, we the people, from those in government who pretend to represent us. We have Senators and Congressmen/women who vote their conscience or their allegiance to a lobby, and not their constituency. Therefore, I do not consider them to represent me. This is one reason why I vote the Libertarian ticket.
