That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

When and how did these people get the idea that we are not constituents?
Because we don't have our hand out, but want to keep what we have?
And how is it that they don't realize they are our employees?
This "absolute power corrupting absolutely" is no joke.
These puffy, misguided, power-drunk egomaniacs are just obscene.

Senator Shaheen needs to listen to her constituents and not just the ones who agree with her. The health care reform protestors seemed to know why they where there. The people supporting the bill had to look at their blackberries before they could say why they were there, and they were wearing the prettiest matching T-shirts!
