A Call to Citizenship

by Carol Wolman, opednews.com

US citizenship is a precious gift, making a person one of “We the People”, with sovereignty, the right to self-rule. Our Founding Fathers (and mothers) fought a bloody revolution to secure this right. The US was the FIRST country in modern times to replace monarchy or oligarchy – rule by kings and nobles – with democracy – rule of the people. The US Constitution is a holy document, establishing our right to rule ourselves and determine the direction of our country.

We all are aware by now that Bush and Cheney have been systematically shredding the Constitution- Bush called it “just a goddam piece of paper” and doing their best to restore the monarchy.  They are the greatest domestic enemies that the Constitution has ever known.  It is our duty as citizens to uphold and defend it.
