In the thread starting at the quoted post, I shared some words from Abraham Lincoln. This thread shares some from Franklin Delano Roosevelt, from what became known as the "Four Freedoms Speech." FDR famously spoke about foreign policy. But the speech was also directed to the domestic affairs of the United States. Roosevelt discussed what is essential to "the foundations of a healthy and strong democracy". https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/president-franklin-roosevelts-annual-message-to-congress 1/
Heidi Li Feldman@heidilifeldman@mastodon.socialI have zero interest in anything the current occupant of the White House may say this evening. But I do enjoy certain passages about the Declaration of Independence and democracy from others who have lived and worked there. Thought I'd share a few. 1/
