Over 500 members of the Legislative and Executive branches of
the Government of The United States of

Constitution of The United States of America}
to an entire
class of speech: that which occurs over computers, primarily the
Internet.

The fact that a vast preponderance of politicians, goaded by numerous misguided - though perhaps well-meaning - individuals and organizations, could pass legislation such as this and have the President of the United States actually sign it into law illustrates the thought behind the title of this index of essays: democracy is too important to have just one period of 24 hours dedicated to it.
It has been said that the Constitution is a living document. If so, it is the child of democracy; and, as do we, the people, it must breathe freedom: not just one day, but every day.
We won't analyze the Act, or the protests, or the organizations that now stand for freedom
on this battleground. Instead, we present this index to
24
Hours [ EVERY DAY ! ] Of Democracy,
because, after all,
eternal
vigilance is the price of freedom.
