dave, good to see you again. I agree with your conclusion. Is there a way citizens can accomplish this? How do we even begin? Would you agree that most Americans are unaware of the seriousness of the present dynamic? How close to tyranny has the US actually gotten? Do you think there are "built in" safeguards that could resolve the crisis without major citizen involvement?

Edit-- on re-reading your post, dave, I must respectfully disagree that the "screwup" is from "We the people." My apprehension of the source for unconstitutional rule is much more conspiratorial than the citizenry at large...
