Poll Finds That Most of Us Have Little Say in Government
A recent poll finds that "people are really unhappy about their role, or lack of it, in the democratic process." Surprise, surprise.

Roughly two-thirds supported reforms such as term limits, abolishing the electoral college, and greater use of citizen ballot measures.
