Declare Democracy Awareness a National Holiday

I served twenty-five years and eight months in the United States Army. During this time, I solemnly took and honored my oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. As a veteran, my commitment to uphold this sacred document and the democratic ideals it enshrines remains as strong as ever. This personal journey and commitment compel me to campaign for our nation to officially recognize Democracy Awareness as a National Holiday.

Democracy serves as the cornerstone of our great nation, rooted deeply within the United States Constitution. It is the very foundation upon which our country stands and thrives, transcending political affiliation and uniting us in our shared values and aspirations. Protecting this foundation is not merely a political duty, but a profound shared responsibility that binds every citizen dedicated to the principles of freedom and justice.

Our Proposal

We propose the establishment of a Democracy Awareness Holiday, a day specifically dedicated to celebrating civic engagement, educating citizens, and reinforcing our commitment to democratic values. Such a holiday would create space for reflection and action, providing citizens with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of democratic rights and responsibilities.

This proposal is not without precedent. Across the globe, nations celebrate days dedicated to their foundational values, reinforcing national identity and unity. In an era where democracy is increasingly challenged both domestically and internationally, establishing a Democracy Awareness Day will serve to reaffirm our longstanding commitment to these vital principles.

Your support in signing this petition will help propel the movement towards institutionalizing this important recognition. Let us unite to uphold and cherish the democratic heritage that defines and strengthens us as a people. Sign the petition today to support Democracy Awareness Day as a National Holiday.

Join us at Our Democracy Matters in making democracy greater—one week, one voice, and one action at a time.
