Mr. Speaker, democracy works best when the American electorate is engaged and informed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Democracy functions best when we have an active citizenry.
Democracy makes us articulate our views, defend them, and refine them.
Speak up! We live in a democracy. We all need to make sure our voices are heard and our opinions are known.
Of course democracy is good, but it is a process, not a prescription.
The Americans' position is clear: we promote democracy.
I'm tired of hearing it said that democracy doesn't work. Of course it doesn't work. We are supposed to work it.
For me, democracy must deliver a better life for the people.
When we say 'democracy' we have to mean what we say.
Democracy is an extraordinary adventure. It's difficult, full of daring and risk and danger. But it's the greatest gift we have.
Democracy is not about making speeches. It is about making committees work.
