We live in a very conservative area, our neighbors, for the most part are hard working farmers or small business owners. It was refreshing to arrive at the polling place a little after 6:00am and have to wait in line. These are hard working, salt of the earth, Christian people with strong family values. When a disaster in the area happens they don't sit around waiting for the government to 'do something' they just pitch in and help each other. When a disaster strikes somewhere else they donate funds, supplies, and labor, heading to the destroyed area with strong arms and a willing hearts. These people believe strongly in freedom, freedom from government, freedom of speech, and most of all freedom to worship our Lord and Savior. Now from some very famous Americans a few quotes to start our day: "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government" -- Thomas Jefferson, 1 Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 "This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember it or overthrow it." -- Abraham Lincoln, 4 April 1861
