Defend Liberty Now Or Lose It Forever

Democracies everywhere are under attack, and nowhere moreso than in the US. With elected neocons like Bush , Dick Cheney and John Doolittle working for personal gain to undermine the rule of law, we, the people, must galvanize to save our beloved republic. We can no longer let others do the job for us. We must attend public meetings (city council, board of supervisors, boards of education, recreation district boards) in order to let the elected officials know we are watching them and holding them accountable to us the voters. We must take back the federal, state and local governments.

We must write to and call our federal representatives and instill into them the awareness that they are our public servants, who were elected to serve the public good not the private benefit. They must know for a fact that an informed electorate will removed them if they do not further the public good.

In order for our democracy to survive, the people must participate … fully. Now more than ever the words of John Philpot Curran have currency: “The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance.” We are definitely at the point of no return … defend liberty now, today, or lose it … forever.
