3. Demand it of whom?
I am pretty sure there are people already demanding things of our leaders in DC. Trouble is they don't matter. So they can scream their little lungs out all they want. They can stamp their feet. They can insist that things be made better. But to whom are they going to address this list of demands? You? Me? The weird guy down the street that smells oddly like cat litter?

Demanding this is meaningless if you don't have the power to back it up. And that right there is the trouble. Somewhere along the way we lost our sovereignty. It used to be We The People. Now its more like It The Incorporated. And it is It that has the attention of people that make a difference. Because It wields the control of the medium, money, and power. And until that changes, I wonder who you are going to demand change from.
