Reclaiming America
21st Century American Revolution, Part 2 of a 3-part series
By Michael Hasty
An underappreciated aspect of America�s founding
generation is that they experimented with other forms of government�colonial
legislatures, the Continental Congress, and the Articles of
Confederation�before they settled on the constitutional system that still
governs us today. A 21st century American Revolution will require that we also
experiment with governance. And if progressives want the public to trust that
we can govern this nation, we first have to demonstrate that we can govern
ourselves.

If there were any doubts remaining that the United
States of America is no longer a functioning democracy, those doubts
disappeared in the presidential election of 2004. The uncomfortably open-ended
question we are left with is: where do we go from here?

Reclaiming America
Reaffirming democracy
By Luciana Bohne
I am sure that we here in northwest Pennsylvania are
like many other concerned people in the United States wondering about
"what must be done" to reverse the woeful course which our country
has been "elected" to continue pursuing.

Reclaiming America
Paranoid shift
By Michael Hasty
Just before his
death, James Jesus Angleton, the legendary chief of counterintelligence at the
Central Intelligence Agency, was a bitter man. He felt betrayed by the people
he had worked for all his life. In the end, he had come to realize that they
were never really interested in American ideals of �freedom� and �democracy.�
They really only wanted �absolute power.�
