The fall of Egypt is not the end of the trend for countries to turn against current government. People around the world are standing up for what they believe is their rights. Poor government is not an excuse for citizens to suffer. Poor government is the reason to stand up and demand changes.
We are fortunate here in the USA that if our government is not providing appropriate services for the citizens there is a way to change government. In 2010 we saw a drastic change in government by our voters. Now it is up to the new Congress to make changes "we the people" have asked for, demand and declared "ENOUGH!".
Not all countries, in fact most countries can not vote/demand change and force the government to attempt change. In most countries demanding change often results in violence and uprising most commonly squashed by their current government.
By demanding change and requesting a say in government offices and government actions, isn't this part of what democracy is about?
Demand change! Get active, vote for who you believe will do best, not based on political party. Make your vote count.
