          From our country’s beginning, the Founders recognized that American democracy would rely on a flourishing independent press. The Constitution protects a free press through the First Amendment, of course, but also through a less celebrated provision: its recognition of the need for copyrights.

          Congressional term limits won't make Congress better | Bradford Fitch

            Starting in the 1990s, the idea of putting term limits on members of Congress became a recurring idea to improve democracy. The theory was that replacing legislators with a new batch would produce a better Congress.

                    Results could help set course for fixing Social Security | Las Vegas Review-Journal

                      Tuesday’s election results will determine more than control of the House and Senate for the two years. They will also play an important role in setting a course for addressing the nation’s looming entitlement crisis, particularly when it comes to Social Security.

                          A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.
