“In the present-day American scene 5 per cent participation is a tremendous demonstration of democracy. This fact is also a tragic commentary on the unbelievable degree of apathy and disinterest on the part of American people. Unless the American people are aroused to a higher degree of participation, democracy will die at its roots — the withering disease of apathy in the roots of democracy will eventually cause its death.” — Saul D. Alinsky
