We the People”—the first words of the U.S. Constitution—proclaims a government by and for the people. The framers of the Constitution used this phrase to emphasize how important the people are to creating unity in America.
The framers considered the Constitution to be a guide encouraging Americans to work together despite not thinking alike. A key aspect of this guide is a win-win mentality. If a group doesn't win at the national level, that group could still win at the state/local level. Unfortunately, Americans have drifted into a win-lose mentality. To create unity, Americans need to return to this win-win mentality.

Citizenship is the common thread that connects all of us as Americans. We are a nation bound not by race or religion, but by the shared values of freedom, liberty and justice.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!
