If we are to be the nation captured by Key – the "land of the free and the home of the brave" – if we are to continue in our national quest to provide all with the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, we cannot expect our military to be the only ones who honor and respect the symbols and principles of our country.

"The current overall U.S, score puts American democracy closer to struggling counterparts like Croatia than to traditional peers such as Germany or the United Kingdom," notes Freedom House President Mike Abramowitz, highlighting executive disdain for the rule of law and congressional failure to act as a source of transparency and accountability and two of too many examples of ways the "land of the free" has become an increasingly ill-fitting sobriquet.

This is why it is so powerful that Clinton, Sanders, Warren and a united Democratic Party all rally together — for free public college tuition for many Americans, for a public option to make healthcare more affordable, to seek a Supreme Court that will restore equal justice for all, to champion fair immigration laws, to stand for full equality for LGBT Americans and to call for the end to the corruptions brought by the Citizens United decision that is turning the land of the free and home of the brave into an oligarchy of aristocracy.
