Wait till after next election... and THEN I will tell you.
It's not feeling like freedom and democracy right now, and I can only PRAY that somebody gets elected that can save us... but I'm feeling doom creeping up on us.
RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT
THE WORLD WOULD SLEEP BETTER

Like B.Kev said... a Constitutional Republic
The Founding Fathers were careful to protect against a direct democracy. As Thomas Jefferson wrote:
"Bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression."

Technically, we have a 'Federal Constitutional Republic.' 'Republic' being a form of representative democray.
It's corrupt, of course, but not to so great a degree as many other governments.

No, it's a democratic Republic. We have representation but can over ride representation with vote, or at least used too be able to.
