Its Your Democracy; Its Your Responsibility.

At the close of the Constitutional Convention
in Philadelphia on September 18, 1787,
a Mrs. Powel anxiously awaited the results,

and as Benjamin Franklin emerged
from the long task now finished,
asked him directly:

"Well Doctor, what have we got,
a republic or a monarchy?"

"A republic, if you can keep it" responded Franklin.
