To regain control citizens do not have. In reality was never really theirs as they never controlled it entirely.

Every Bite Taken Out Of Big Mac Taken Out Of U.N. that sort of thing.

I want politicians who work for me, not for themselves.

I want people of other lands to respect our laws.

I want the corporations to lose the person status they have in the courts.

I want the Supreme Court to reverse the decision that gave government the right to take private property by eminent domain to benefit corporations.

The list is long and could be longer but I think you get what I mean when I say " I want my country back."

Answer 9

Oh Where do I start...how about an America where jobs came before corporate profits...how about an America that doesn't support dictators...how about an America that does not elect presidents with familiar last names...

Answer 10

It means that you long for times past more than you want to adapt to the future!

Answer 11

When I say that, I mean that I want to have some say about the laws that are passed "for my benefit" which end up costing me money and freedom.

  I want to be able to object to corruption, and have it mean something.

I want someone who is honorable to be among the candidates who are offered to us every 4 years.  I want our representatives to represent us, not multi national organizations which have only their interests catered to.

I want the idea of one man one vote to be a real construct.

I want the news media to report the news, accurately and fairly, not just promote their agenda.

I want the idea that I have as much voice in our government as big business, particularly big business in other countries.

I want a return to the Constitution, upon which this country was built, and which made this county great.

If things continue the way they are, we will lose it at an ever increasing rate, and what we end up with will bear no resemblance to what we say we believe in and want.
