"The most powerful person in a democracy is you - the individual. The basic form of our government is structured in a straight forward, simple pattern, and it is that way by design. It is not "brain surgery" or "rocket science", although some may want you to think that it is. It's not reserved only for the wealthy or just for those families who have been involved in politics for generations, although some may want you to believe that as well.

Our form of government is for all the people. It should be run so we can all understand it, and it should be run so we can all participate in it. When problems exist that can best be dealt with by government, we need leadership that will involve people - in an open, objective process to seek solutions. Keeping it simple and understandable increases the chances for success.

We don't need to wait for a crisis to bring our government closer to its original structure. We can start now – actually, we need to start now. Each of us, as individuals – one step at a time."
