LETTER TO THE EDITOR / WHO WILL SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY?

By Roger C. Kostmayer

At some point in the not too distant future, Americans will ask “Who will save us from tyranny, fascism and dangerous incompetence, both foreign and domestic?”  The current President elect was impeached twice, indicted 4 times and was convicted once.  Therefor, it makes sense to think about the answers now rather than too late.

Who, or what, could be capable of acting like guardrails for the next four years, regardless of who is President?  The first and most obvious suggestion is – “US”, you and I.  The power of an active, unified majority of the people is helpful, and “trumps” dictatorship.

It’s also critical that government employees on all levels are protected and supported, regardless of their personal political views. When these everyday workers are doing their jobs effectively, following their oath of office and protecting the Constitution, it increases our safety significantly.  Think about the firemen, policemen, military, senior staff who faithfully obey ONLY legal orders, regardless of politics.

Another arena that needs to improve dramatically is EDUCATION.  Every voter and immigrant should be taught and tested on U.S. history, our democracy and Constitution, and why cruel and arbitrary king-like leadership is unacceptable.  The ultimate power must come from ALL the people.

What else do YOU think would make you and your family more secure?
