Of the People, by the People

The cornerstone of a successful, stable democracy is an informed, energized, involved electorate.

In Athenian democracy, political questions were resolved by popular vote--every issue was settled by referendum. I am thankful for our republican system--I do not want an electorate who call the Psychic Hotline or Dial-a-Prayer making decisions for me.
