8. I think it is also a challenge for the rest of us to continue taking ownership...

... of our political process. And that enough of us need to be involved for Democracy to continue to thrive in this country. Now that WE just put in place a new congress to take charge and make changes doesn't mean that OUR job is done! It's just started. We still need to continue to push on these people that OUR will is that they do things like investigations and impeachments, ultimately change our political system to take the money out of it through things like public campaign financing, get us out of Iraq, put in place Universal Heath Care, etc.

In short it is up to US to make sure that these people pay attention to US rather than those special interests that have been driving them through campaign donations, etc. for the last few decades, etc. WE got a start on this last year with this election, but WE still have a long ways to go!
