We all agree that this midterm election was a major failure for the American people. What do we do now?

So, we can't complain if we don't participate, right? What do you all propose we do now? I have decided to prime myself to run for local office in the next election and make as much noise as possible on the way.

Who has some pro-active ideas for us citizens to "take back our country" and make it the great place it was intended to be?
