“I will not relent”
…in assuring the existence of Democracy, all its Nation States as The United States of North America, European Union and the rest of Nation States.
So, said and swore by me on May 1970 and on 1982 when I put my right hand up abiding to the Constitution of the Unite States.
…and been this nation a Democracy.
…and heard on the words of a prominent American authority.
…and been this nation, my nation, as it is of more than and over than > 300 million people.
…I remind to myself, constitutional sworn obligation, that: I must, shall and will keep my word.
