You sound like me. Unfortunately, we were facing similar problems in the 21st century. Many politicians didn't appreciate how critical I was of our government, and I was often called unpatriotic - or worse. There was a time I was actually labeled a traitor. The people need us, still. Those of us who are willing to stand up for them when they can't, who are willing to fight for their right to basic necessities and freedom.
I think it's a great idea. I think there are some misconceptions on how the government works, how we were created and what we hope to do in the future. For newer arrivals, it would be particularly helpful.
