Dear friend,
I invite you to view an eight-lecture course that we prepared. It is called=
=E2=80=9CAmerican Citizenship and Its Decline <[link removed]
du/hillsdale/citizenship-dvd?utm_campaign=3Dcitizenship_dvd&utm_source=3Dpr=

5DODEES> ,=E2=80=9D and the online course is based on Victor Davis Hanson's=
latest book, the recently released The Dying Citizen.
Like the book, the course describes the current crises in America as sympto=
ms of a far larger problem: the steady decline of the autonomy and politica=
l influence of the citizen.

The class describes the origins and history of citizenship in the West, rem=
inding us that it is a rare phenomenon both in the past and the present=E2=
=80=94given the enormous responsibility placed on citizens to create and co=
ntrol their own government.
Citizenship then requires a large and self-reliant middle class=E2=80=94cur=
rently shrinking under enormous economic strains. Clearly defined and enfor=
ced borders are also essential to ensure a civic space in which citizens ca=
n nurture common customs, sustain traditions, and honor their own shared pa=
st.
Yet borders are now increasingly fluid as mere residence and citizenship se=
em often indistinguishable. Pre-civilizational tribalism=E2=80=94identifyin=
g by superficial appearance rather than through shared culture and values=
=E2=80=94is returning to America as so often the salad bowl replaces the me=
lting pot.
These organic, bottom-up challenges are often matched by top-down stresses =
such as the growth of a huge, permanent, but unelected, government of burea=
ucrats 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 th=
e Constitution, long-held customs of governance, and political traditions f=
or short-term partisan agendas, on the theory that a new, changing, and flu=
id Constitution must match an always evolving human nature.
Globalism is an ancient challenge to the sovereignty of the nation-state. B=
ut in the age of instant communications and unprecedented concentrations of=
globalized wealth, so often elites seek to supplant American laws and inde=
pendence 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 =
return government to the control of citizens.

Dear friend,
I invite you to view an eight-lecture course that we prepared. It is called “American Citizenship and Its Decline <[link removed]> ,” and the online course is based on Victor Davis Hanson's latest book, the recently released 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.
[American Citizenship DVD] <[link removed]>
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 as so often the salad bowl replaces the melting pot.
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 return government to the control of citizens.
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 can easily give and reserve your DVD box set using this secure link:
