"We're all being judged by the future. Right now. Which side were you on when a cruel, corrupt, venal villain put a "For Sale" sign on America's government, values, and norms; ripped immigrant children from the arms of their mothers; threatened the free press and the right to protest?"
Benjamin Franklin's warning?
At the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, Benjamin Franklin was queried as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberation. In the notes of Dr. James McHenry, one of Marylands delegates to the Convention, a lady asked Dr. Franklin Well Doctor what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?
Franklin replied, A republic . . . if you can keep it.
Are we there?
