We the people still believe in democracy

Letter to the Editor,

We the people took to the streets Oct. 18 to declare what two centuries ago our founders wrote: There are no kings in America.

We the people are defying intimidation and threats to send one unmistakable message: The power belongs to the people, not a ruler.

We marched, and the attacks on our democracy continue in the courts, in the halls of Congress and in the streets.

We don't know why "they" slammed the demonstration as a "hate America rally" or "it's all the pro-Hamas wing and the Antifa people."

On the other hand, the demonstrations were seen as an exercise of constitutionally protected rights to free speech as a threat to this right.

My fellow citizens, it is up to us to keep America shining on the hill.
