Well, Tracy, this we can agree on. An exploration of recent (i.e., since the end of World War II) history will demonstrate that this "intentional push" to "centralize power" is not a partisan issue. While the Obama administration may currently be exploring the centralization of power with the Internet, the previous Bush administration sought to centralize power through an unprecedented number of "signing statements" appended to legislation. All presidents use their power of Executive Order to solidify power in the Executive branch of government.

Again, it is not partisan. It is about who the Democrats and Republicans truly represent. It's not the people. It's, well ... remember the Golden Rule: "Whoever has the gold makes the rules."
