I believe it is. We operate in a modern world in which we are bombarded by media. The average person, the average, ordinary member of ``the people,'' does not have much access to that media, cannot get his or her voice much heard in that bombardment.

That will drown out other voices that do not have that power. So it really does attack the basic premise of ``we the people.''
