Strength in numbers...how can we create accountability from government officials

The debate is ongoing about the Harper government and how they acquired their majority. To date they have chosen to deny any, and all claims that this may or may not be factual. Yet neither the opposition or the Harper government has produced any evidence to support their guilt or innocence in this scandal.

Whether truthful or not; this demonstrates the extreme lengths that politicians, and those we elect into a leadership are willing to go and just how shameless they are in misusing public trust to get what they want. We continue as a population to forget that there are only 300 or so people elected and chosen to represent the "Public Interest" in the House of Commons. Remember they are being paid a rather generous six figure salary and a cushy pension to do the job. But what accountability do they take for their actions when something goes wrong and they face the cross-hairs of political scandal?...NONE AT ALL!!!

What I am suggesting is that of the 300 or so people we pay six figures a year to run our country; I am compelled to say: I FEEL THEY HAVE DONE A TERRIBLE JOB AND ARE CONTINUING TO DO SO!! and the only reason that this pattern continues is because there are many individuals who question the ethics and integrity of our elected leaders...But there are few willing to unite in the masses to lobby against the corruption.

Think about it...one person has the power at any time to influence a large circle of friends that they associate with. So why then can we not all coordinate and come together as a larger group DEMANDING that the crooks who govern us be held accountable for their actions?

In more primitive times where technologies were limited, if people were not happy with a person or felt that a someone had betrayed their trust. They would gather together to locate that person and hold them accountable. I am not suggesting that we should all unite, and storm parliament with torches and pitchforks like they used to...but with only 300 officials and a few police and security personnel I think the outcome of 3000 or even 30,000 like minded people uniting to ask the crooks in power to answer for their actions would compel them to LISTEN!

PEOPLE I BEG YOU...DON'T  EVER FEEL YOUR VOICE IS TOO QUIET TO BE HEARD BECAUSE... ALONE A SINGLE VOICE IS HEARD AS ONLY A WHISPER. BUT THOUSANDS OF VOICES IS A NOISE HEARD ACROSS THE NATION, THAT CANNOT BE IGNORED WHEN EXPRESSING THEIR DISCONTENT FOR THE WAY OUR COUNTRY IS BEING RUN...DO YOU THINK THEN THEY MIGHT START TO HEAR US?? I'd say the answer is rather obvious.
