@hey.citizen: Inspired by Thomas Paine's The American Crisis, written in 1776. Every generation inherits a republic. Every generation must decide whether it will merely enjoy it or help preserve it. The Constitution is not self-executing. It depends on ordinary people paying attention, learning, participating, and holding their principles higher than their political tribe. No president can do our civic duty for us. No court can do our civic duty for us. No party can do our civic duty for us. We the People remains both the promise and the responsibility. #citizenlearner #wethepeople #americanhistory #america
