55 delegates from the Continental Congress.

    When our new country was born, 55 of the brightest and best came together. Many were famous, such as, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington. Others were lesser known, but equal in purpose and desire. That desire was to create a new nation. A nation that would represent, and safeguard all of its people. One that would express the true nature of liberty and freedom, to the rest of the world. Alas, over time we came to realize, these were not perfect men by any means. Many had hidden agendas, and various personal and professional issues, which by today's standards would bar them from this endeavor. Does this detract from the work they had done? Well I certainly hope not, considering the importance of our Constitution. My Father once told me, men can do great things by accident, and that precious few are saints. I believe this to be true, especially in modern society. Many of our great and beloved leaders were men of questionable character. Yet they remain pillars, by which our country stands strong. By this standard I must say, it does not change the value or importance of The Constitution. Many will disagree with me on this, I'm sure, but that's the price of voicing an opinion.

    In this blog I hope to share my opinions on our United States Government, The Constitution, and The Bill of Rights. I am no expert on constitutional law, and have no aspirations to become an elected official. My only qualification being that I am A citizen of this country, and it is my right and duty to protect myself from my government when needed. Along with that, questioning our system is the most important right we have. Lately questioning our government has become treason, and our rights have been infringed upon. The news has become biased, and deals in half truths, at the whim of large corporations. And our nation is now in the country building business. If there ever was a time to question our government, than that time is now. I will also try and discuss other things that may be of importance. Most will relate in one way or another to our government, be it past or present, theoretical or factual. So please comment, post, gripe, or discuss anything posted here. If you would like something discussed, that is pertinent and thoughtful, please ask and perhaps it will be added sometime. Thank you for reading, and always strive for perfection in life, government, and self.
