Editor,
Wednesday I attended a meeting sponsored by the Montana Human Rights Network at the St. Ignatius Seniors Center. The speaker gave reasons why conservative groups are starting to meet in large numbers.
One - our President isn’t white and two - our President has a non-Anglican last name.
My reasons for wanting to be involved weren’t mentioned. Let me share a few:
He that lives upon hope will die fasting. -Benjamin Franklin.
That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves. -Thomas Jefferson.
The class of citizens who provide at once their own food and their own raiment, may be viewed as the most truly independent and happy. -James Madison
Power always thinks ... that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws. -John Adams
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. -Thomas Jefferson
In short, I love freedom, and feel blessed to be part of this great nation. I feel responsible to do what I can to preserve our liberties. Bailouts, debt, corruption, back room deals, welfare abuse, Social Security failure, compulsory government health insurance, taxes, etc.
These are my reasons to be involved — not the color of Obama’s skin or his last name. I am worried about what will be left of our great republic for my children.
My children who happen to have the same beautiful color of skin as Obama.
