It's something every American should hold near and dear to their heart. But sadly, most have never read it.
Today is Constitution Day!
Grab a pocket Constitution. Read, learn and educate yourself and your family.
"Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic. But will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom? Material abundance without character is the path of destruction." ~Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson was wise, ahead of his times it seems, for his quote is even more meaningful today.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Mary.
ReplyDeleteSad but I did not know that.
ReplyDeleteEven sadder that the leaders of today in no way compare to our founding fathers.
In fact, I think they would be quite disappointed in our government and their continuing efforts to distroy our constitutional rights. Of course, that is only my opinion. ;)

I have my pocket constitution. I pray daily that freedom is restored to this nation and a sense of patriotism is revived.

Our country has two clear paths we can take.
ReplyDeleteI just pray Americans have the common sense to know which path will help save our republic.
