Thoughts on the 4th of July
Your Role in Preserving our Grand Republic

America's Founding Fathers pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to the cause of freedom. To those of us who are 236 years removed from the American Revolution that may sound like nothing more than idealism. But it wasn't. Not then. It was realism. It was necessity. It was what they had to do to survive and prevail.

And on this 4th of July, it is what we as patriotic Americans must do again. Not should do - must do. We must do more than wave small American flags as the high school band marches by or cheer the fireworks display or smear sweet, sticky watermelon juice from ear to ear.

You know what is going on in this country, from City Hall to the County Courthouse; from the State Capitol to the U.S. Capitol to the White House. And you may have come to the realization that despite all of the promises politicians make to restore America to greatness, that restoration will never be accomplished through politics.

Greetings!

The New Year is upon us, most of us have put away the Christmas holiday regalia (as some children plead to keep up the icicle lights for a while longer), and many of you have been inundated by the "election alerts" as the campaign for the Presidency moves to the South. However there is one campaign story developing here in Georgia you probably haven't heard about. I haven't seen anything on the Atlanta Journal-Constitution site. The fact that the GOP-aligned Peach Pundit political blog has nothing on the story is most curious.
