Independence Day is Coming!
Teacher, pastors, and drama groups: This Independence Day presentation of mine (in both monologue and ensemble versions) has been read and performed by churches and other organizations throughout the United States. Both versions are now available from my script publisher SkitGuys.com for you to read or perform!

My Declaration (Monologue) – What is patriotism, and what does it mean to Americans, especially people of faith, now? It means not only to celebrate, but to participate.
My Declaration (Ensemble) – This is the dynamic, interactive three-person version of the My Declaration monologue above.

Nice
We are a Constitutional Republic, brother. We have never been a democracy, a term and idea deplored by the authors and signatories of the Constitution. France had a democracy… and they’ve never succeeded. Blessings!
Good to hear from you, Anne!
From Webster’s Dictionary: Is the United States a democracy or a republic? The United States is both a democracy and a republic. Democracies and republics are both forms of government in which supreme power resides in the citizens. The word republic refers specifically to a government in which those citizens elect representatives who govern according to the law. The word democracy can refer to this same kind of representational government, or it can refer instead to what is also called a direct democracy, in which the citizens themselves participate in the act of governing directly.
As soon as I see someone comment that we aren’t a democracy, I know which wing of the bird they are on.
Checking it out! I did some drama in the past; I love it. 🙂
