Time to take part in our national ritual! In
the United States, our civic religion is democracy, and our liturgy is
voting. As we celebrate hard-fought, hard-won rights (from Revolution to
Abolition, from Equality to Full Enfranchisement), we
join hands in this political process to venerate freedom and sustain
our civic culture.
Long life to the Republic! Remember that it is
strengthened by our participation and aided by our commitment to
democratic principles.
