We shouldn't be bitter about the elections. We should be happy about the turnout, and should rejoice in knowing that God uses all things for good, and that He puts all leaders in power, good or bad, in order to fulfill his Divine plan.
If you want something to be concerned with, be concerned with the fact that OUR congress, our supposed "representatives" may do the same as they have for the last few decades, and not really represent us to the point they should be. It is very possible that these mostly careerist politicians will simply try to keep the right people happy in order to keep their cushy jobs and their lobbyist brib---erm I mean "gifts."
What can you do? Be a revolutionary. It doesn't require violence as Guy Fawkes attempted. In reality, it requires you to voice your concerns, convictions, thoughts, and oppositions to your representatives and senators, both state and national. Write letters/emails or make phonecalls on a daily basis. Tell likeminded others to do the same. Only when the populous does this will the majority truly have representation.
"No taxation without representation!"
When was the last time your reps accurately performed their duty according to their constiutents'? If it wasn't recently, we shouldn't have to pay our tax dollars in for their $160k a year + free health for life + pension benefits. Either kick them out in election, or try something bold and Guy Fawkes-like, like the following:
Petition to have the person(s) removed from office, or go all out and call for a constitutional convention (this would require a petition and a gigantic public outcry). When called, a constitutional convention can totally reshape the country through removing people office (even the president), amendment the constitution, totally rewrite a new constitution from scratch, or simply fire congress. Then, the states all have to vote. A 3/4 or more vote by the states in favor of any action makes it law, and it thus happens. Fired the bad representation one way or another? Time for an emergency election. Make sure to choose the right person for the job!
Happy Guy Fawkes Day! Be a revolutionary in your own right! God Bless the USA!
