Sorry I missed your kind words. There are too kind. I just tried to help some friends and hope if I am ever in similar circumstances that there would be those to lend a helping hand.

My favorite words concerning our Republic come from John Adams:

"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other."- John Adams, Oct. 11, 1798

They are just as true today...particularly todfay when we see the very essences of these principles being trampled in so many places.

I pray that enough people in America will be moral enough to keep the Constitution's checks and balances in place.
