	Students for Global Democracy (SGD)
		SGD fully supports this essay contest due to its focus on how activists themselves can change the situation in the Middle East - rather than simply distressing over the lack of freedom in the region, the Dream Deferred Contest asks what actually can be done to create a better Middle East.
		His speech is a testament to the growing reach of SGD and the power for students around the globe.
		We need a special Students for Global Democracy Fund which would be run by student and youth leaders from democratic universities and groups across the democratic world — who would give direct financial assistance to their colleagues inside the Not Free countries.

	Democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Democracy is often implemented as a form of government in which policy is decided by the preference of the real majority (as opposed to a partial or relative majority of the demos/citizens) in a decision-making process, usually elections or referenda, open to all or most citizens.
		In modern democracies, the territory is the nation-state, and since this corresponds (in theory) with the homeland of the nation, the demos and the reach of the democratic process neatly coincide.
		Liberal democracy is, strictly speaking, a form of representative democracy where the political power of the government is moderated by a constitution which protects the rights and freedoms of individuals and minorities (also called constitutional liberalism).

	Students for Global Democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SGD uses solidarity demonstrations, fundraising campaigns, and internet outreach to further the democratic aims of local activists who seek support in their struggles, while simultaneously lobbying democratic governments to emphasize democracy promotion as a foreign policy and to make the public more aware of democratic struggles abroad.
		In the spring of 2005, SGD took the cause of Belarusian democracy as its primary focus in a campaign to raise funds for the largest democratic opposition student group, Zubr.
		It ought to be noted that the aim of Students for Global Democracy differs from the Global democracy or World citizen concept, which is the idea of promoting democratic institutions for the whole World, thus giving less importance to nations, and considering national sovereignty as an obstacle to a full World citizenship and democracy.

	Democracy - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Democracy is a form of government under which the power to alter the laws and structures of government lies, ultimately, with the citizenry.
		The word democracy originates from the Greek δημοκρατíα from δημος meaning "the people", plus κρατειν meaning "to rule", and the suffix íα; the term therefore means "rule by the people." The term is also sometimes used as a measurement of how much influence a people has over their government, as in how much democracy exists.
		Liberal democracy is sometimes the de facto form of government, while other forms are technically the case; for example, Canada has a monarchy, but is in fact ruled by a democratically elected Parliament.

		Democracy in its ideal sense is the notion that "the people" should have control of the government ruling over them.
		Research by the World Bank suggests that political institutions are extremely important in determining the prevalence of corruption: democracy, parliamentary systems, political stability, and freedom of the press are all associated with lower corruption [9].
		Evidence in peer-reviewed statistical studies support the theory that more capitalism, measured for example with one the several Indices of Economic Freedom which has been used in hundreds of peer-reviewed studies by independent researchers [10], increases economic growth and that this in turn increases general prosperity, reduces poverty, and causes democratization.

	The Unfinished Revolution: 03/30/2003 - 04/05/2003
		According to Stanford (and SCPJ) Speech Codes, students within a campus group must severe all contacts with other students in the same group 24 hours before a scheduled event so that we don't offend anyone by exuding an aura of superior planning skills.
		Anyway, after that issue was resolved, the SCPJ leaders wanted to "touch base" with us regarding "Courtesy Rules for the rally." They didn't want us chanting or interrupting their speakers or interferring with other protesters in any manner.
		Once the rally started we stood facing them waving our Americans flags, which were noticeably absent from their crowd (They're patriots, too, damn it!) The only flags they waved were a United Nations flag calling for a world government and one that mocked the Niemoller poem about the Holocaust ("When they came for the Jews...").
