What Democracy? Where? Whose?

A republic? Not in our lifetime. Lies, back room deals, murder, impeachment. The things we have seen used to depose those in office who do not walk the line. Citizens asleep, vote for the most popular, or the smoothest talker. No Veronica we have no democracy. More fascism exists in our government than democracy. Compare; A movement or tendency, or idealogy that favors dictatorial government. See IRS. Centralized control of private enterprise. What now does Mom, and Pop own? Repression of all opposition, and extreme nationalism. See Career Politician. Democracy; The free and equal right of every citizen to participate in a system of government defined by electing representatives, of the people. "Not of the dollar," by the people. "Not just the rich," for the people. "Not for Corporation Internationale."

I love my country but too, too many of us take our freedom for granted. Like any well oiled machine Democracy needs maintenance, but we do not give our freedom a second look, we rely on others, "Career Politicians" to look out for our interest. In reality these people spend more time "Dollar Chasing" to be concerned with a little thing like "FREEDOM."

Pick up the book read it, and many more like it. Understand what a true Democracy is all about, and your part in it.

In the two years that have passed since the second edition of THE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY, our nation has witnessed a tremendous amount of conflict both at home and abroad. This Election Edition contains coverage of the 1996 campaigns, conventions, and elections. Today's college students are not only reading history - they're watching it happen, and certainly no academic discipline is changing faster than political science. THE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY is a text that helps students keep pace with those changes by challenging them to think about how today's issues affect the institutions and processes of government in the United States. The text has been thoroughly updated to include the latest scholarship and the most recent political developments, including the 1994 elections, the Republican-controlled Congress, the new federalism, welfare reform measures, the immigration controversy, the National Performance Review and other effects to "downsize" governmental administration, regulatory policy reform, GATT, and the changes in Haiti, Bosnia, Somalia, the UN, the Republican Contract with America, the Oklahoma City bombing, and NATO.
