This issue's quotes:

"Those who try to stifle the vibrancy of our democracy and shield policies from scrutiny behind a false cloak of patriotism miss the real value of what our troops defend and how we best defend our troops. We will ask questions and we will defend our democracy."

--Sen. John F. Kerry, D-Mass., March 2002 speech

"And I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in showing that religion & Government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together."
--James Madison, letter to Edward Livingston, July 10, 1822
