Freedom Forum’s Post

With the current state of our democracy and the roll back that we are seeing in real time of our rights, It’s more important than ever that the ERA gets published as the 28th Amendment. #ERANow #ERA100

Check out my latest blog post on a sometimes forgotten protection of the First Amendment.

🔒🇺🇸 The 2nd Amendment: A Safeguard Against Tyranny 💪⚖️ At its core, the 2nd Amendment isn’t just about self-defense—it’s about protecting freedom. Here’s why it’s a critical pillar of democracy: 🛡️ Power to the People: An armed populace ensures that no government can impose unchecked power. It’s a reminder that true authority comes from the people, not the state. ⚖️ Checks and Balances: The 2nd Amendment is a safeguard that upholds the balance of power between citizens and their government, deterring any potential overreach or oppression. 🔍 Preserving Liberty: History shows that the ability to defend oneself is essential in resisting tyranny. Armed citizens are a constant barrier to any force seeking to strip away rights and freedoms. 📜 Freedom’s Last Line of Defense: The right to bear arms isn’t just a privilege—it’s a constitutional guarantee that preserves all other freedoms. The 2nd Amendment protects democracy by ensuring no one can take our liberty away! 🇺🇸💥 #2ndAmendment #Freedom #DefendLiberty #RightToBearArms #TyrannyDeterrent #Constitution #PowerToThePeople

In a federal system of government, mechanisms and safeguards are in place to protect the rights of minorities. These include constitutional protections, representation in government, autonomy for regional or local governance, judicial review, and mechanisms for consultation and dialogue. Federalism ensures power sharing between government levels and respects minority voices in decision-making. #Government #MinorityRights #Federalism

I came of age, politically-speaking, during #Watergate* ... In fact, I was very politically engaged even a decade before that "kicked off" -- which is to say, before or by age 11, when #RichardNixon ran against, and lost, to #JohnFKennedy ... I was one of the millions of #Canadians, among others worldwide, rooting for #Kennedy's historic #presidential win, and all that followed from it ... So I can well imagine what might well have happened *then -- or what will possibly now, and going forward ad infinitum: Of enormous consequence not only to the #UnitedStates itself, but to #Canada and everywhere else globally, should the unthinkable occur this November 2024 ... Perish the thought! -- MCK. #USA #SumpremeCourt #Constitution #OathofOffice #democracy #ruleoflaw #justice #president #accountability #liability #prosecution #verdict #immunity #judgment #presidentialelection #elections2024 #bodypolitic #societalvalues #ethicsmatter #moralimperative #uspoli #uspolitics #cdnpoli #globalpoli #globalimpact

This phenomenon is prevalent across all developed economies, with the political version of a #powerstruggle and #chairlust unfolding at the highest levels in the US. In context, however, these issues are encountered at nearly every tier of governance. This is indeed a significant concern regarding the erosion of democratic norms, encompassing the independence of electoral systems and the judiciary. Practices such as gerrymandering, voter suppression, misuse of governmental resources for campaign objectives, political intimidation, and more extreme actions such as the incarceration of political adversaries are tactics witnessed globally. These practices draw criticism from international observers and human rights organizations for compromising the core democratic principles of fairness and freedom within elections.   For our #aap supporters, there's positive news: a poster draft is ready to go—simply update the images and modify a few words as needed.

On this #ConstitutionDay 📜, we reflect on how the First Amendment has endured despite attempts to curtail freedom of speech and the press soon after the Constitution was ratified. And we remember those who stood up for the principles that serve as the bulwark of liberty. What do you think is the most essential part of the U.S. Constitution? Share in the comments below.

Today 6th phase of election for Parliament is going on and it was earlier said that the Right and the Duty are complementary to each other, now its time to perform the same. It is our duty to cast our vote to save our Fundamental, Constitutional, Legal and Statutory Right. It is the Democracy, which provides us this right to vote, so this is our social and moral duty to cast vote and to make the Democracy vibrant and living. If we don’t cast our vote, we cannot have any moral right to criticise. Our nation and society, both are living in nature, so the Democracy is. So cast the vote. #election #right #duty #complement #vote #fundamental #legal #constitutional #statutory #social #moral #democracy #vibrant #living #criticise #society #nation #country #parliment #perform

Happy 78th  Independence Day 🇮🇳 to all of you ! The foundation of our democracy is based on "Four" pillars -  Legislative, Executive , Judiciary and Media (mainstream +social media). That is the power of "4" for us ! Some interesting correlation between "78" (78th Independence Day) & "4". The number "78" can be generated by using only  "4" exactly "4" times ! 𝟳𝟴 = 𝟰 × (𝟰! - 𝟰) - √𝟰 #78thIndependenceDay
