How can we make a difference?

As an American citizen there are many was we can make a difference in our government. We have the power to change what we dont like. When they intergrated popular soverignty that put the people in charge over the government. It is our duty as citizens to take a stand for what we beleive. We have the right to vote for who we beleive should run our country, we have the right to go out and talk about what we beleive we need to see in our country, and we also have the right to take a stand and tell them what we see that they are doing is wrong and tell them and make our voices heard. I beleive that we have become to complacent with just "going with the flow"
