I still believe:
In representative democracy where the people own their government, Congress writes laws, the President enforces those laws, and the Courts ensure laws and enforcement are consistent with the letter and spirit of our Constitution;
In a “United States” where state and local governments, while free to govern their jurisdictions, stay within the bounds set by the federal government and work together to establish consistent conflict-free reciprocity of law; and
A well-informed electorate, provided accurate and unbiased information, is essential for sustaining a functioning representative democracy, and it is the responsibility of the media to act as the informational “fourth branch” of government (the whistle-blower) to prevent hidden agendas and corruption thus allowing “The People” to cast well-informed votes.
