Join hosts Bobbi Fisher and Joe Ulery as they introduce a new opening feature called “Ben Franklin’s Virtues,” where they cover the 13 civic virtues that one of our famous Founders thought to be most important.  One virtue will open each of the next 13 episodes.

Following this, and in light of recent events, the hosts review some important ideas and actions that We the People need to remain mindful of in order to sustain our almost 250 year-old democratic republic, as its maintenance requires constant effort on the part of the citizens. In this episode we review the concepts of what is meant by being a democratic republic, as well as due process and habeas corpus, immigrant rights, First Amendment rights, political polarization and civil discourse, active citizenship, and civic education. This review is meant to stimulate continued maintenance of our republic by We the People.
