All hope must remain under that great creative document that has taken us this far. Will you dear reader honor the rule of law and support the Supreme Court on this power struggle we are now involved in? Let those who see reason over questionable ideology cling to the hope that we can survive another two centuries under the rule of law.

Allow truth to prevail, not power or money.

I am 88 years old, a grandfather, a retired small business owner, a writer by avocation and an army veteran with two older brothers buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

 

In the 8th grade I attended a country school. I read Lincoln the Unknown, memorized the Gettysburg Address, and in civics class I was introduced to the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution. I have been hooked on American history ever since.

 

Now the greatest political experiment given to the people is hanging on by a thread. Before God and all the angels, I saw this coming as far back as February 2023 and started the blog ReturntotheBeginnig.com. Why did I do it? Simply to attempt to save our U.S. Constitution by taking a fresh look at those 55 men in Philadelphia in 1787. In the hot summer of that year those 55 men showed up to replace the Articles of Confederation which were simply a loose legal association of colonies with very little proscribed political fabric to lend cohesion between the states. George Washington, the Father of our Country, was dismayed over the lack of a central rallying position and supported the need to obtain a new political situation with more central authority. They all studied diligently past philosophers, past governments, and past statesmen. Remember, these men risked a hanging if they had not defeated King George III of England. But, now they were not looking for another king or dictator to rule. They ended up finding a new government that could rule successfully with checks and balances as it were. A Legislative, an Executive, and a Judicial. Each had the power to check on one another. They decided to give a "more perfect union" to “the people”. George Washington was the first “President” as he refused to be a king or a dictator. The political theme in total was to reject the temptation of power and money. How did that U.S. Constitution experiment work out dear reader? Well, we are still in business after over two centuries. However, the document is stressed politically at this very moment. But "the people" still have the power to save it, thus proving Plato incorrect, when he said, "democracies pass into despotism". Together we can overcome our current plight.

 

Remember, cynical politicians can use wedge issues to divide us. They want to divide and conquer as it were. For example, the United States of America is not at war over immigrant issues. Immigrants commit fewer crimes than the average American citizen. Please, fact check, fact check! It is not true what they are telling voters about immigrants. We are an immigrant nation and if former President Ronald Reagan was alive now, he would see what is going on and condemn the freaky politics and goofy opinions over immigrants, I'm positive he would be dismayed. Especially to see immigrants rounded up without due process and sent to a concentration camp in El Salvador! Dear reader, do not fall for the groundless political positions thrown at us by politicians who want to overstate the problem using disinformation, distractions and subterfuge. We need all hands-on deck to reaffirm our past principals and past history in America. We need to support our Federal Judicial System and to rally around all Federal judges and the United States Supreme Court. We must show our faith to those who have the power to protect us from legal cynicism.

All religions and all non-religious, must hope that we can still endure as a nation at this time in our history. We must reject the political mess foisted upon us.

 

May God bless our efforts to keep our children and grandchildren free of chaos and mayhem. We can reestablish order by unifying under an umbrella of truth.
