Excerpt of Patriot Acts by Catherine Crier

Americans love our country deeply, and when told we’re
losing it, nothing can stop us from fighting. But there
seems to be a lot of confusion these days about the mission.
What exactly did the Founders establish? What is now at
risk, and what must be done to preserve the Republic? . . .

Our Founders created a constitutional government that would
protect and promote a free and diverse society. Those who
argue otherwise are misleading you intentionally or are
ignorant of historical facts. As a patriot, I believe that
our founding principles and system of governing are not
negotiable. We must recognize the difference between honest
debate over policies and philosophy and those measures that
skew or upend our extraordinary system for partisan
advantage. Such tactics may produce short-term gains, but in
the end, everyone loses.
