There Is much that goes on In the business of running
the government of the United >tates that is not understood by
many Americans, The very structure of our democracy provides
that the desires of the many will be decided by a very few; a
very few that are placed in office by the process of the free
election. We support the person, or the political party, which
we believe will best represent these desires. This process has seen no significant change through the
years since the birth of our liberty, almost 190 years ago.
During those years there have been many crises, some of which
were resolved much better than others, and one, in fact, which
temporarily destroyed our Union. Yet, 100 years after that
particular disaster, we are still united, and have become the
wealthiest and proudest nation on earth. We have great aspirations for the future and face
immediate challenges that our fathers, and even some of us,
early in our lifetimes, would not have believed possible in
this century.
