"I consent, sit, to this Constitution because I expect no better; and because I am not sure that it is not the best." as quoted by Benjamin Franklin in a Speech at the Constitutional Convention, Pennsylvania Sept 17 1787
At the time of this speech, there seemed to be an impasse with all the delegates in the final wording. Everyone wanting their words, but no one wanting to give in. It was after this speech of his that the motion was finally carried to complete what we know today as the Constitution of the United States of America; by far the best country out there. A government by the people, for the people, and of the people. Not a government that runs the people.
Please remember this; the purpose of our government to serve us, not to run us and our daily lives...as I greatly fear we are headed.
Happy Fourth of July!

Hello Jenni, I just noticed that you became a follower on my blog. I wanted to say that I am honestly/truly honored. But since I'm lost that means we're both in trouble. I enjoy reading Benjamin's words on the Constitution.
Have a great day and stay tooned!

Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps, if you are not willing to move your feet.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I so agree with you that we the people should take back over our country the way it was meant and should be!
