Portal:What Government do We Want

The Big Issues

A characteristic of America is that we are usually dealing with some big issues - issues that have national visibility. They are usually (not always) issues in which our federal government is involved, including our Supreme Court. A few may unite us. However, it seems today that most divide us. We are a strong nation. We have been through worse internal conflict. This portal is an entry point into what Civicwiki intends to be a factual and honest discussion of 'The Big Issues' to achieve better understanding and, thereby, more agreement. We will start this portal by looking to recent Gallup polls. One of these asked the question, what is the [biggest threat] - big government, big business or big labor. 72% responded with 'big government'. This portal is the place to assign categories and pages that present and discuss the link between American independence and English rights.
