‘Let’s Change America’ is a website whose main purpose is to make fellow Americans aware of the issues in Washington that need change. Our current President, Barack Obama, campaigned on the promise of change. What we’ve seen thus far, is nothing more than the Status Quo. We need to stop just sitting back, and become more active in the whole political process.
Ask yourself what kind of Government the United States is, and I’ll bet you that most will say a Democracy. The truth is that is a common misconception. Say the Pledge of Allegiance to yourself, and you’ll be reminded that “to the Republic for which it stands.”
As Benjamin Franklin left the Constitutional Convention, on September 18, 1787, a certain Mrs. Powel shouted out to him: “Well, doctor, what have we got?,” and Franklin responded: “A Republic, if you can keep it.” Like many of the Founding Fathers, he was intensely concerned that the democratic institutions they were crafting would deteriorate over time. In particular, they were concerned—and talked ceaselessly during the convention about the risk that, under pressures and exigencies of war, a tyrant would collapse their system into something closer to the monarchy that they had just defeated. Over the intervening 220 years, the republic has maintained itself, though not without close calls. And today, while we face what may be the gravest challenge in the nation’s history, our media will serve up the next chapter in the life of Paris Hilton. Source
