More thoughts on Activism... Ben Franklin is often quoted as saying, "We have given you a democratic republic; it is up to you to keep it." Activism upholds the rights of citizens. It respects our country, our leaders, our constitution, and each other. It recognizes that national pride is important, but not blind. Activism relies on quality news reporting about our government, elected officials and corporate activities.  Activism is a healthy responsibility when directed towards peace and harmony among people.
