"Cogito ergo Freeperum.

My husband is making up a sign later to support Ehrlich and other fellow republicans: Would this be correct:
cogito ergo Republicanum

One of the reasons I like Latin is because it's a very pithy language. There's a lot of meaning in words.

I think you would need:

Cogito, ergo Freeperum sum!

I'm making some assumptions - that the noun "Freeperum" is a gender neuter noun of the second declension. You still need a verb though, so that is why you need the "est Republicanum is a derivative of "publicanum", which has a generic definition.

I'll defer to others more up on Latin than I for additional info or to issue the appropriate corrections if I have erred.
