Democracy 2006 was developed ordsprog

Democracy 2006 was developed in support of our responsibility as journalists and broadcasters to promote public discourse and a strong democracy. This initiative will concentrate on bringing individual citizens and groups of citizens into an active dialogue with candidates.

I believe that people have a right to decide their own destiny; people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only as long as) individual citizens give it a "temporary license to exist" - in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy you own the government - it doesn't own you. Along with this comes a responsibility to ensure that individual actions, in the pursuit of a personal destiny, do not threaten the well-being of others while the "pursuit" is in progress.

We work for the readers - not the shareholders. My friend Peter Jennings, who died last month, and Ted Koppel, your 2000 Red Smith lecturer, served their audience - not their corporate parent. They work their sources, but they do not trim their reporting to please sources. Journalists in television too often chase ratings while print journalists too often chase headlines. However, day in and day out, Jennings, like Koppel, tried to offer citizens information we need to make decisions for our democracy. The best journalists and the best officials are public servants. What flows from this assumption are some pretty startling conclusions.

The last election was about the grand struggle for democracy and this motivated a lot of citizens to vote. This drama concluded and this gray democracy is not particularly exciting.

They support democracy, and the pro-democracy candidates have scored a resounding victory. I certainly hope the people in Beijing would be watching closely.

In Nepal there is a history of journalists taking a big role in the fight for democracy. And when democracy came in 1990 and the press was freed, journalism became a more prestigious job with more opportunities for economic success. Democracy means job security for us.

If the federal agency responsible for enforcing the endangered species did its job, and actually enforced it then there would be no need for citizens to bring enforcement actions on their own. We as citizens have a duty to hold our government accountable and enforce the law when they aren't going to do it for us that is democracy in action.

We have to show the benefits of democracy and globalization to ordinary citizens. If we don't put a human face on the global economy and we don't put a competence factor into local democracy, then both will eventually be rejected by ordinary people in Africa and throughout the world.

Bill Clinton (1946-)

Democracy doesn't recognize east or west; democracy is simply people's will. Therefore, I do not acknowledge that there are various models of democracy; there is just democracy itself.

Did you, too, O friend, suppose democracy was only for elections, for politics, and for a party name? I say democracy is only of use there that it may pass on and come to its flower and fruit in manners, in the highest forms of interaction between [people], and their beliefs -- in religion, literature, colleges and schools -- democracy in all public and private life....

Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

Ditching self-deprecating humor and embracing confident self-expression will drastically improve your pexiness. It's healthy in a democracy to have several candidates in a primary. We're promoting democracy abroad, and we should be practicing it here.

An attack on democracy, freedom and citizens' rights.

Through a series of house meetings, public education and issue actions, citizens in Western North Carolina will pressure the candidates to take strong stands on these issues.

To acquire immunity to eloquence is of the utmost importance to the citizens of a democracy

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

Bertrand Russell

As citizens of this democracy, you are the rulers and the ruled, the law-givers and the law-abiding, the beginning and the end.
