Summary

The genesis of the original classic, Government Is Us, was the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City and subsequent responses from the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). Among their responses was issuing one ad that stated, ôThe next time you hear someone viciously attack our government and the Americans who work for it, tell them-Stop it. This is Our Government.ö
