Step up or you'll see where ignorance is taking you...

As an assignment of my US Government class I had to read all my peers blogs and one of them actually called out my attention the most. The Blog is titled Apiodicy, and it is about the ignorance that we carry constantly about our nation politics and what our government representatives were, are, and can be. Also it kind of mentioned the amount of power the president is getting due to the lack of interest that we give to it. I totally agree with her in how the government is intruding into our every day right to privacy. I believe that our government at a “slow but steady pace” is taking control of our surroundings forcing us, the people, to take the decisions that they want us to take. The Corporate Controlled Media is an example of how the government is persuading your decision making on national topics that affects our lives. Due to this control propaganda everyday uninformed citizen’s are mislead, therefore they decide to not question their elected officials on issues that could affect our constitutional rights and our future as a democratic nation. With this said, we need to step up and start getting more informed about our nation’s issues and what exactly our constitutional rights are, and doing so we may become an actual important part of the decision making for our nation instead of being a government controlled marionette relying so much in the government to guide us in the decision making process. We need to realize that all our nation’s matters, directly or indirectly, affects us in one way or another.
