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.
