Not by revolution, rather by default, Maine has become a nation. D.C. is dead. There were too many self inflicted wounds. Within his farewell address, George Washington expressed concerns of internal enemies. His concerns were validated, internal enemies decimated the United States Government and harmed We the People.
D.C. became overwhelmingly corrupt. The congressional hearings dealing with Jack Abramoff's lobbying schemes exposed the huge amounts of money that congressmen accumulated from hordes of professional lobbyists, in exchange for preferential treatment. The congress passed laws to legalize this corruption. The congressmen became whores, turning the capitol into a whorehouse while the self interested lobbyists with money in fists fulfilled the role of perverts. Also in his farewell address, Washington wrote,"it is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government."
The congressmen's conduct extinguished representative government, self serving opportunists crawled throughout the remaining carcass. Laws became commodities for purchase rather than for the common good.The Abramoff hearings revealed that money was king; democracy, republic, and constitution were shelved ideals- beautiful, velvet decorations to be dusted the day before the election parade.

A Penny is Worth More Than A Dollar
A penny is made of valuable copper. Copper is intrinsically worthful, its numerous uses vary dramatically from artistic sculptures to electrical wiring. Regardless of Wall Street’s or Washington’s opinion of this metal, copper is a valuable commodity. An American with a penny in hand has hold of an asset. The more pennies a person obtains the greater is that person’s assets.
Previous to 1935 the American Government deposited gold into reserve banks for every dollar they printed. Citizens had the ability to exchange their dollars for gold.
The American dollar is no longer backed by gold or any valuable commodity. Through the period from the mid 1930’s to 1971 the government incorporated laws that severed the relationship between gold and the dollar.
Presently, a corrupt, thoroughly bribed, tremendously indebted American Government prints these paper dollars. Ironically, the holder’s faith in these notes of promise is needed in order to give them value.
For decades the American Government has enacted laws that have decimated Americas’ formerly powerful manufacturing ability. Along with corruption and debt, this behavior has deteriorated the promise that backs a dollar, since a manufacturer can back a dollar and a consumer can not.
A penny is worth more than a dollar, because used copper is worth more than used paper.
