I thought it would make a good addition to my Site. I would like to thank the Constitution Society for allowing me to re-use their material.

The Constitution that has protected our rights and liberties for more than 200 years is now in greater danger of being overthrown than at any time in our history. Though generations of patriotic citizens have fought and died to defend it against enemies foreign and domestic, it is now that the Cold War is over and we no longer face the threat of thermonuclear Armageddon that it is in the greatest peril. If action is not soon taken to defend it against its enemies, all those lives may have been sacrificed in vain. No, some of these things may pose serious challenges, but none of them are as deadly as the cancer of fascism that is grasping for power within the very institutions that we founded to keep us free. We fought World War II against countries that had allowed themselves to be taken over by fascism, and we thought that we had defeated fascism when we won that war.
