In Defense of Democracy and Freedom

Via DemocracyAlive.com, "A Living Democracy"

The 'Great Experiment' in the United States

A foundation of rights, human rights, individual rights, put forward by and in a new National Constitution, Bill of Rights and government with a living Democratic Republic envisioned. Ours is a democracy continuing to this day, a heritage worth protecting...

“We hold these truths to be self-evident”.... “all men are created equal”... they have the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” and with rights to live under a government of their own choosing.

"A Republic, if you can keep it." -- Benjamin Franklin

We recall a quote of Benjamin Franklin responding to a question in 1787 about the newly announced birth of the US as he left Independence Hall after the Constitutional Convention: We have "a Republic, if you can keep it."
