Questioning Authority
“It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority.” -Benjamin Franklin
Private Ownership of Government
"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism—ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." -Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1938
An Invisible Government
"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics, is the first task of the statesmanship of the day." -Theodore Roosevelt, 1912
