Some inspiration for us as we begin to engage citizens in restoring a citizen run Democracy:
Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg, Pennsylvania Address, November 19, 1863:
“…that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain
—
that this nation, under God,
shall have a new birth of freedom
,
— and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
….Just something to think about.
