Trouble is, the government represents 300 million people. You can't "reclaim your government" when the angered party consists of a couple thousand people.

I'm not sure what you mean by "the angered party", but my point was specifically that our government has been co-opted by interest groups that are not the people.

The fact that we have 300 million citizens and majority will cannot be expressed is exactly a symptom of this condition. The government is no longer the people, but a separate entity with its own agendas. Agendas which frequently run counter to the interests of the people.
