We need leaders like the founding fathers again in this country. I wonder if that is even possible anymore.
The founders were people who cared, and stood up when the time was right.
My hubby, bless his sweet, non-political heart, is related to George Ross, James Wilson and George Read, all multiple great uncles of his. They, and his direct ancestor, Mark Bird (the others were all Bird’s brothers-in-law, either through his wife or his sister), were local men who decided to stand up and do the right thing. The more I learn about them, the more I realize what counted was the willingness to do the right thing by their country, even if it cost them.
If we want to be people like the founders, we have to get off our self-centeredness, and realize there are more important things than our comforts and pleasures...there are issues that count more than our toys and houses and cars. We need to rediscover sacred honor and stand up for it.
