Death of Democracy--battle cry quote liked so much by Bob Graham

“The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush. It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment.”

Robert Maynard Hutchens


This quote by the famous educator and president of the University of Chicago is cited by Senator Graham as the appropos warning for all those Floridians who want to work towards getting young voters, as well as other citizens, as a "call to action" for 18-21 year olds more involved in politics and government, as a way to reform and improving these "calcified" American institutions.
