"Who is "we"?"

Brilliant point.

"No one seems to listen to 'we the people' anymore."

You mention huge demos, which are nice, but the face of the matter is that what we have in the US is occasional huge showings of opinion and a lot of (almost) nothing. That's why no one listens to "we the people" anymore, because "we the people" don't have follow through.

Edit: Small change.
