What is the best way to police Government?
Given the history of the world, corruption seems to be the norm for governments. Congressional scandals appear almost daily and it is well known in Washington that congress is virtually for sale to the highest bidder. Many serious allegation of fraud, deception, misappropriations of money and constitutional violations have been leveled at the government by people like Aaron Russo and others and the only response we are expected to believe are the denials that come from the very institutions accused along with their subordinate corporations (ie. lawyers, accountants, etc.) that depend for their livelihood on the status quo. There may or may not be truth in these allegations but to think that such deception and fraud is impossible in government seems to me a bit naive. Government cannot be trusted to police itself, nor can a press which is owned by the corporations be considered truly free. We need to do something to clean up this mess and get America back if indeed it has fallen.

Let them know "We’ve got a gun!"
The 2nd Amendment….the right to bare arms, against tyranny, and government.
The link below explains it all. That is how the American People police the government. It’s just a damn shame we have to. I’d rather have a drink by the pool. Can’t do it, though, I have to keep fighting Liberals, so my country can stay free.

The best way to police the government is to vote the culprit out.
Simple as that!
The Founding Fathers thought long and hard about this question. They recognised that too much power, in the hands of a few people, corrupts. That’s why the US Constitution embraces the concept of the separation of powers.
Under the separation of powers, the Government’s power is divided between three branches: the judiciary, the legislature, and the administration. Each branch has unique powers and functions, and operates as a "check" on the others: for example, Congress can "police" the Administration through budgets; the Administration can veto legislation; and the judiciary can declare acts of the Administration and the legislature to be unlawful or unconstitutional.
There are, of course, more direct ways to "police" the Federal Government:
1. engage with your elected representatives: write to them, call them, meet with them;
2. vote; and
3. if all else fails, run as a candidate.
