RJP:In general I like it, and perhaps semantic but the idea of "keep the government in check" is a bit adversarial. We should not let the government get to the point of needing to be "checked."
RJP:If everyone stayed involved, informed, etc the government would not get to the point of needing to be "checked."
RJP:They talk about "Americanism" and maybe that would be the answer to the problem. If we had a more involved/engaged citizenry then the government wouldn't need to be "checked"
RJP:Make "Americanism" the next MOVEMENT. Forget feminism, environmentalism, etc
Lobby for "Americanism" as the answer to all of the countries woes!

Obviously when talking about government we are well within the realms of politics. As such I have tried to avoid any bashing of any one political party or administration.
