  6. Confidence in American Institutions, 2006 "I am going to read you a list of institutions in American society. Please tell me how much confidence you, yourself, have in each one--a great deal, quite a lot, some, or very little?" Confidence in government institutions is comparatively low. Source: CNN/USA Today/ Gallup poll, June 1-4, 2006.

  7. Trust in the Federal Government, 1964-2006 "People have different ideas about the government in Washington. These ideas don't refer to Democrats or Republicans in particular, but just to government in general. We want to see how you feel about these ideas. How much of the time do you think you can trust the government in Washington to do what is right--just about always, most of the time, or only some of the time?" Trust in government increased after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.

  8. Making Democracy Work O I see flashing that this America is only you and me, Its power, weapons, testimony, are you and me, Its crimes, lies, thefts, defections, are you and me, Its Congress is you and me, the officers, capitols, armies, ships, are you and me. Its endless gestation of new States are you and me, The war (that war so bloody and grim, the war I will henceforth forget), Was you and me… Freedom, language, poems, employments, are you and me, Past, present, future, are you and me, I dare not shirk any part of myself, Nor any part of America good or bad. —Walt Whitman “By Blue Ontario’s shore” Leaves of Grass (1881)
