What an experience. Sharing patriotism with our children and our town.The children loved the excitement.The Constitution is sacred to me. I feel personally that The Constitution was created by inspired men. Our Founding Fathers created on outline for our government to follow.
Over the las
t 17 years I have watched the country change... I even recall the day that my love for Politics died. It is so vivid in my mind. At that moment, I wondered if I had just created some Utopian ideal of the Constitution... I wondered if I lived in a made up ideal of Patriotism, a false loyalty to those who died to give us freedom from a Kingdom, freedom from oppressors, freedom to prosper, freedom to believe in a God of our choice, and a freedom to speak and let others hear our voice... etc. I remember standing in disbelief wondering about all those feelings I had instilled in my soul... a real love for those who came before me, who died, and sacrificed for a creation of a country cupped by the hand of God and forged by our Founding Fathers.Now I realize that millions of Americans feel the same way and are taking a stand for our freedom... to follow our Constitution. I look at my children and I wonder what kind of country will be left for them? Will I have done everything in my Constitutional power to preserve it?
As our Founding Fathers wrote, "...All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.I have great desire to instill patriotism in my children and to pass on the legacy of knowing the blessings of this
hallowed land. The same that I had as a 
child, 
that my parents had, and that their parents had, and so forth. I quote from the Preamble my hope; " to secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..." I want this for my children, I must give them power to know who they are, what their liberties are, 
and all the rights to pursue happiness.May God watch over us... and our children.

I to have become frustrated with the way things have been going as far as politics are concerned.
