Too often it has been the silence of the people. I seek to change that. The government wants power and control. If you don't believe it then consider Supreme Court cases of the last thirty years taking power away from the family and giving it to the school system. Taking power away from the states and giving it to the bigger and bigger central government.
Government knows it exists legally only by the consent of the people.
Therefore government tends to let the people know only that which seems favorable to the government. Consider the U.S. Dept. of Education which has grown like a cancer since it formed just a few years ago. Education in America was much better before the national government started dominating. Please remember this nation was made great by people educated in local schools without a national education beuracracy. When you connect on the World Wide Web to the U.S. Dept. of Education home page, all you see is how great the new system is.
