Unsubtle satire directed at the current notion of “homeland security” (circa 2006). "For me, voting is a fundamental and cherished expression of patriotism and democracy. By casting my vote, I am connected to the principals of Government of the People, by the People and for the People. Between the lines of a quotation from Charles Evans Hughes (Chief Justice, 1930-1941) about safeguarding constitutional rights (free speech, press, assembly) are works by Carl Schurz (Union General, US Senator): "Our country ... when right, to be kept right; when wrong, to be put right." |
