I believe Americans should never ask for their rights. They're guaranteed. All we need do is take our rights.
We are the People. Every member of our tri fecta governance is paid for by our tax dollars. They and their families are provided personal living conditions; housing, food, clothing, and travel. So, then, do you see why I say that we are their bosses, their owners actually?
