Washington's Republic: Science, Progress and Human Freedom
A note to readers: this is an old post on the archive website for Promethean PAC. It was written when we were known as LaRouche PAC, before changing our name to Promethean PAC in April 2024. You can find the latest daily news and updates on www.PrometheanAction.com. Additionally, Promethean PAC has a new website at www.PrometheanPAC.com.
In 1787, George Washington and his close allies created a sovereign Republic and ground it in a commitment to science, manufacturing and technological progress.
In this concluding part of the current series on Washington, we shall focus on three things: Washington's sponsorship of inventors and revolutionary technologies; the fight at the Constitutional Convention against Slavery; and the establishment of a National Government with broad powers to act on behalf of the General Welfare. Ours is not a nation that is a plaything for "free market" oligarchs, but a Republic, constitutionally pledged to build a better, more productive future "for ourselves and our posterity." We must rediscover these principles and accept the mandate to save and rebuild our nation today.
