"Now more than ever the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature...[I]f the next centennial does not find us a great nation...it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces." ~ James A. Garfield, The Works of James Abram Garfield, James R. Osgood and Company, 1883.

It's About America
I grew up during the time of Rin Tin Tin and Elvis. Riding my bike – alone, three miles to a friend's house was an everyday occurrence. Television was black and white with three channels. Getting in trouble in school was chewing gum, or spitballs. We left our doors unlocked, and never feared leaving packages in our cars when we went shopping. The treat of the week in summer was going to the local pool on Saturday and getting to buy a soda and a candy bar. Our politically correct language today had an entirely different meaning back then. Nearly everyone went to church. When a neighbor needed help, neighbors helped.
Now I have eight grandchildren. As they grow up, they will be looking over their shoulders. Most people have more than one lock on doors to their homes. They have burglar alarms on their property. We not only guard our homes, we guard our speech. Our Constitution defines our rights as Americans, yet is ridiculed as out-dated.
"But as for me, I will always have hope." Psalm 71:14
Today, the sight of hundreds of Americans shouting "USA! USA! USA!", reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and singing the national anthem, gives all of us hope America is still the world's bastion of all things free. I believe Bin Laden's death at *this* time was preordained because of *these* times. It wasn't with NATO, or the UN, not with a coalition of world "partners". It was America's finest warriors, placed in the hands of God to carryout His timing and His arranging of circumstances; God has provided the answer to the question often asked, "What do you mean, 'take back America'?"
American pride is America's power, tried through two world wars, numerous world conflicts, humanitarian support in the face of international disasters, and doing what's right, because it's right. American Exceptionalism is rooted in faith in God and the work of His Hand of Providence. Why does America give hope to the world? What is so special causing millions to rush to our shores? What is the threat to nations steeped in thousands of years of tyranny and oppression, or monarchy control, or dictatorships?
The idea and the experiment – Liberty and Freedom.
We *are* the thing unheard of. We *are* the thing tested and tried. We have been refined through the flames of revolutionary war and civil war; through the national shame of repressed civil rights; though discontented, we encourage discourse; though challenged, we remain steadfast. When threatened, we arise. We have always called on God's blessings. From the White House to my house; from battlefields to cornfields; from cradle to grave…
We are Americans.
~ Linda

November 4, 2010
Thank you, Fellow Patriots! YOU made a difference in Tuesday's midterm elections and I congratulate you on your diligence and perseverance in the face of some of the most disparaging, hateful, and evil comments and rants ever seen in an election cycle. But YOU stayed with the cause and made a difference.
We can't rest. The challenges are still there and November 2nd is now history. We have to stay on top of our current leaders during the upcoming Lame Duck session beginning November 18th and our new ones beginning January 1. Stay on message. Do your homework and know what's going on.
November's meeting will be a discussion of how we approach 2011 and our expectations for the presidential run in 2012. Bring your family, friends, and neighbors. YOU are the strong link in the chain anchoring America to its founding history, conservative values, and the process of continuing to Take Back America.
God Bless America.
Revolution...
Restoration...

There Will Always Be A November October 9, 2010
There will always be a November. Politicians must now be aware We, the People, will never be caught again. There are more self-evident absolutes than the truths we hold dear. The political machine can never be allowed to move beyond the boundaries *we* set. Our silence condoned their arrogant, irresponsible care of our nation, and we must hold ourselves accountable as well. We were the gatekeepers for our children and grandchildren's futures, but we didn't keep watch. We assumed love of country was part of our moral fabric. However, we failed to monitor the immoral fabric moving like wave across this nation, nor did we pay attention when the Constitution was being ground into the dust under the heels of pompous, highhanded, so-called public servants.
Our Founders knew human nature was constantly at risk from greed, selfishness, and presumptuous character. Yes, character. Noah Webster and John Witherspoon warned us. Webster said, "In selecting men for office. let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate - look to his character...When a citizen gives his suffrage to a man of known immorality he abuses his trust; he sacrifices not only his own interest, but that of his neighbor, he betrays the interest of his country (emphasis mine)."
John Witherspoon cautioned the same. "Those who wish well to the State ought to choose to places of trust men of inward principle, justified by exemplary conversation...[And t]he people in general ought to have regard to the moral character of those whom they invest with authority either in the legislative, executive, or judicial branches."
We can never let Washington forget November will always come. November will always be the time of accountability. It will always be the season to judge character. Character counts.
For a good look at the arrogance of Congress, read Psalm 64.
