The Civic Trilogy

Three letters in the voice of Franklin Delano Roosevelt to the citizens of a stalled republic. The first names the storm, the second reads the instruments, the third hands over the tools.

FDR is a literary persona developed at Paradroid Labs. These are not authentic Roosevelt quotations.
