In Americas history, we as a people have grouped together and rose in unison against Congress. The reigning party at the time has no choice but to capitulate to the will of the people. We have forced their hand before, and have brought forth rapid action that for whatever excuse they couldn't get done until we were pissed to the point of action.
Until we do something, these congressman and senators will have their pockets lined with gold and will do what they are told by the oil company lobbyist. They rely on the collective apathy and lethargic nature of the American people.
It is only through the emanate threat of losing their positions of power, that they finally do something to serve the people.
