In America, the people are the voice, not the government.

America is a REPUBLIC. We exercise our voice at the voting booth when we elect those who represent the people.

Any elected official has to answer to the people.

Only insofar as their getting elected or re-elected is concerned.

You, sir, are ignorant of history. We may be a representative republic but we also have the right to be heard. Anything else would mean that we are ruled. Read the First and Ninth Amendments.
