Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Historic Speech of Vice-President Al Gore




Here you will see excerpts from an important speech by former Vice-President Al Gore. In this speech of January 2006, Mr. Gore speaks passionately about the need to restore Constitutional government in America.

Although the Democrats have regained control of Congress, much work remains to be done for there are still numerous tyrannical laws passed secretively by the former Republican-dominated national legislature. Many of these laws have been described here in previous posts.

Contained in Mr. Gore's comments is a call to action. A specific set of actions is not delineated here, though he does give something of an action plan in his book, Assault on Reason from 2007. In any event, surely we have the means to effect an important change. The question is whether enough people understand what is at stake. I tend to agree with the Vice-President that a new day can be at hand provided we follow through on the knowledge already available. This democracy can and must be preserved in our time.
