Dear friend,

I invite you to view our eight-lecture course "American Citizenship and Its
Decline
<[link removed]>
," based on Victor Davis Hanson's book,The Dying Citizen.

Like the book, the course describes the current crises in America as symptoms
of a far larger problem: the steady decline of the autonomy and political
influence of the citizen.

The class describes the origins and history of citizenship in the West,
reminding us that it is a rare phenomenon both in the past and the
present-given the enormous responsibility placed on citizens to create and
control their own government.

Citizenship then requires a large and self-reliant middle class-currently
shrinking under enormous economic strains. Clearly defined and enforced borders
are also essential to ensure a civic space in which citizens can nurture common
customs, sustain traditions, and honor their own shared past.

Yet borders are now increasingly fluid as mere residence and citizenship seem
often indistinguishable. Pre-civilizational tribalism-identifying by
superficial appearance rather than through shared culture and values-is
returning to America.

These organic, bottom-up challenges are often matched by top-down stresses
such as the growth of a huge, permanent, but unelected, government of
bureaucrats and administrators who combine judicial, executive, and legislative
powers that overwhelm the citizen.

In addition, revisionists in law, the media, and politics seek to change the
Constitution, long-held customs of governance, and political traditions for
short-term partisan agendas, on the theory that a new, changing, and fluid
Constitution must match an always evolving human nature.

Globalism is an ancient challenge to the sovereignty of the nation-state. But
in the age of instant communications and unprecedented concentrations of
globalized wealth, so often elites seek to supplant American laws and
independence with international organizations and often without the consent of
the legislative branch or the assent of the governed.

The course ends, however, on an optimistic note that citizens still have it
within their power to restore our traditions of empowered citizenship and
reassert control over the government.

You can receive a DVD box set of "American Citizenship and Its Decline" with a
tax-deductible gift of $100 or more toward Hillsdale College's Annual Fund. You
