Show this to everyone, especially your adult children, if any. Start having the conversation on the history and state of America at the dinner table with the younger children. Future Generations must be made aware of the America you and your family grew up in and the idea America was founded on, that all people are created equal and have the God given right to a life of individual liberty and the freedom to pursue happiness. Do not rob them of this great legacy.
As the story goes,
... that upon exiting the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin was approached by a group of citizens asking what sort of government the delegates had created? His answer was "A Republic, if you can keep it."

“THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated” Thomas Paine, The Crisis 1776, December-23
