May God cause our nation to weep, and see our true spiritual state, repent, pray for our leaders that they turn to the God of the Bible, and that our nation is healed.

If it were my post, the very FIRST thing I’d do is provide a disclaimer that says,

“The narrative contained below discusses a Congress diametrically opposed to the Congress of today, and no inferences should be taken that the members of today’s Congress are anywhere near as honorable and honest of the Congress so long ago.”

I beam with pride today as I read this... In Column 5, New Jersey.... Abraham Clark.....my great grandmother was Harriet Clark, Abraham Clark's Great granddaughter... God Bless our Founding Fathers. May we never shrink from our duty to protect our country.

Thomas Jefferson 237-years ago:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that 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.”

“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,”

“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

[Right Brother]

The line that needs repeating:

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Concord, MA, where the British marched to sieze the arms and ammunition of the Colonists, and where they were soundly defeated by patriotic men, armed with the weapons they could muster, against the tyranny of King George.
