I will venture to add that to me the Convention mode seems preferable.
- President Abraham Lincoln, March 4 1861
Structures which do not allow equal access to opportunity must change. The Americans with Disabilities Act and Brown v. Kansas Board of Education are examples.
Over 50 years have passed since The March on Washington. Statistics
Over 70 years have passed since the 1941 speech by President Roosevelt crystallizing hard earned lessons from the Depression into a document detailing 4 Essential Freedoms, and the 1944 address turning Americans toward a new vision of the state as a protector of the progress by, for and of all the people Lady Liberty called. Statistics
Over 150 years have passed since a new president's first act was a call for conversation in a climate of war. President Abraham Lincoln saw American families raising Constitutional conventioneers - not soldiers. Statistics
An American President recommended the convening of a Constitutional Convention. In 1861. He thought it was a better way.
So do I.
Friends: I count at least 3 American dreams there.
What are yours?
