                    WE NEED TO FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY

  (Mr. NORMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. NORMAN. Mr. Speaker, I will quote from the great Alexander 
Fraser, who wrote about the decline of democracy. The nations have 
progressed through this sequence. Very few have existed past 200 years, 
but they all come to an end.
  They go ``from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to 
great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from 
abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to . . . apathy; from apathy 
to dependence; from dependence back into bondage.''
  I think now we are at a point in time in history where we have got to 
fight for our freedom, we have got to fight for our country.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that people now get involved who have never been 
involved before.
