DEMOCRACY NOW! There were many reasons for the American Revolution. We all are aware of the Colonist fight against taxes. With slogans such as "taxation without representation is tyranny", the birth of a new nation began. What then could be said of those political leaders who get themselves elected with the promise of lower taxes or even no new taxes?		DEMOCRACY NOW! Since taxes virtually always increase, are these politicians simply guilty of lying or are they guilty of tyranny? How can we have a representative government if the representatives refuse to represent? How do we practice Democracy without giving to each of us not only a vote, but also a vote that counts? We are all taught in school about the Boston Tea party, however, how many of us know what Benjamin Franklin cited as the prime cause of the Revolution? According to Benjamin Franklin, "The refusal of King George to allow the colonies to operate an honest monetary system, which freed the common man from the clutches of the money manipulators was probably the prime cause of the Revolution." Isn't it curious that this is not taught in our schools, can you wonder why? Democracy, what a novel idea! An idea based on the premise, that all men are created equal and therefore are entitled to an equal say in the decisions that affect them. Democracy, a belief in majority rule with guaranteed rights to the minority, an ideal that applauds the fundamental dignity and worth of each individual. Democracy that always alluded to but never truly practiced philosophy. To create a government based on democratic principles, our forefathers risked their fortunes, and their lives. They challenged and defeated the greatest power of their day. They literally changed the world. Once again in the course of human events, we find ourselves in a revolting situation. However, what we need to do today is not revolt, but EVOLVE. We need to take our representative government to what the founding fathers truly desired. If we look at early America, we will find that Democracy was much closer to being practiced than the so-called Democracy practiced in America today.
