demand a government that can function in an economic or political crisis.

WE THE PEOPLE demand a government that can function in a crisis. In exchange, we will do our part as citizens of the United States - for example, we will continue to enlist in your armies, to do our work in various government jobs, and to pay our taxes. But we will not agree to be quiet if denied crucial services and pay because our government plays with politics instead of working to create a compromise that is acceptable across political parties. To make sure you have our attention: many of us still have not paid our taxes for this fiscal year, and there can be no taxation without TRUE representation!
