From politicians, to newsrooms, to classrooms ... we hear about America's democracy. Yet, the word democracy doesn't exist in our Declaration of Independence or Constitution.

In fact, our Constitution states:
Article. IV.

("Keep up the good work," Palin told AIP members. "And God bless you.")
AIP chairwoman Lynette Clark told me recently that Sarah Palin is her kind of gal. "She's Alaskan to the bone ... she sounds just like Joe Vogler."
