## Resource

As America gears up for its 250th birthday, historian Andrew Shankman is rallying the nation to rediscover the bedrock principles of democracy—especially the idea that government should be run by laws, not personal power. Leading the Civics Exchange at Rutgers, Shankman’s initiative aims to cut through political cynicism by reconnecting citizens with the Constitution and how government is meant to function. It’s a call to rekindle shared civic understanding and build a stronger, more informed future together. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
