What began as a solemn warning in 1787 now echoes louder than ever. Imagine Franklin himself returning—not in flesh, but in spirit—to speak directly to us. What would he say about Citizens United? About corporations with the voice of kings? About our leaders drifting from their duty to the people?
🎥 In this powerful message, Franklin reminds us:
➡️ Democracy was never self-sustaining. It demands vigilance, education, and active participation.
➡️ Citizens United isn’t free speech—it’s the monetization of influence.
➡️ The republic belongs not to the wealthy few, but to the engaged many.
➡️ Complacency isn’t neutral—it’s surrender.
🛡️ “Your freedoms are more abundant. Your society more advanced. Yet the delicate fabric of democracy remains susceptible to neglect, complacency, and division.”
📣 So what now?
✅ Educate yourself.
✅ Engage your community.
✅ Demand transparency.
✅ Reclaim your power.
Franklin’s timeless challenge is now our responsibility:
👉 Keep the republic. Protect it. Pass it forward—stronger, wiser, more just.

Reflect on his words. Share if you believe it’s time to rise as caretakers—not spectators—of this great American experiment.
