Democracy. It's messy, it's uncomfortable - but it's better than the alternatives, as Winston Churchill famously assured us. And it is certainly better than Authoritarianism. The idea of a self-governing society, where all are considered equal, is humankind's dream. It's a vision for America based on the conviction that the best government is one in which no one - no one - gets left behind. And now, that dream and vision are once again threatened, as the opening decades of the 21st century have experienced an uncomfortable rise in Authoritarianism - not just in the United States, but in Europe and South America as well. It doesn't look promising. This book seeks to provide inspiration - and, beyond that, a call for commitment and a call to action.
