Because it's a Republic that can ensure liberties, not a Democracy.

The real question is how can a Democracy that has a low opinion of a Republic be free?

Now, THIS is REAL democracy. This movement may turn out to be a more powerful force than campaign contributions.

Consequently, congress better take notice. These people are HIGHLY motivated to vote incumbents of either party out of office.

People from around the country are converging on the capitol for "Take Back the Capitol." At the heart of the movement is a similar message to Occupy Wall Street, according to NBCWashington.com. The group says it wants Congress and elected leaders to represent the 99 percent of every day Americans, instead of the wealthiest 1 percent.

Why do people insist on continually repeating the false dichotomy of Republic v Democracy? They are not mutually exclusive. The United States is both a Republic and Democracy. We are a Republic because the government is formed from individuals who represent segments of the population. We are a Democracy because we choose those representatives through an election process.
