Dave,

For IP if you wish.

Very thoughtful, and thought-provoking.

We can no longer assume that all Americans understand the origins of their rights and the importance of liberal 
democracy. We need a new era of civic engagement that will reawaken us to the cause of liberty and equality. That 
engagement must extend to ensuring that our elected representatives uphold the Constitution, in deed and discourse — 
even if doing so puts them at odds with their party.
We cannot allow Mr. Trump to normalize the idea that he is the ultimate arbiter of our rights.

I don't care which side of the plate you're on; this is a serious piece and deserves consideration.

–Ridge
