We Must Face The Bitter Fact That

We Must Face The Bitter Fact That We Have Forsaken Our Great Dream Of A Life Of, For, And By The People; That The Burning Passions And Ideals Of The American Dream Lie Congealed By Cold Cynicism. Great Parts Of The Masses Of Our People No Longer Believe That They Have A Voice Or A Hand In Shaping The Destiny Of This Nation. They Have Not Forsaken Democracy Because Of Any Desire Or Positive Action Of Their Own; They Have Been Driven Down Into The Depths Of A Great Despair Born Of Frustration, Hopelessness, And Apathy. A Democracy Lacking In Popular Participation Dies Of Paralysis.
