There's a lot to learn .. and much work to do!
George Washington once said ...
"Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness. In one in which the measures of government receive their impression so immediately from the sense of the [people] as in ours, it is ... essential."
(Ibid., 30:493) 1790
Our very first President also said ...
"In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened."
(Ibid., 35:230) 1796
These comments .. these directives, if you will, from our very first Commander-in-Chief begs the question of each of us - present and future guardians of the liberties of the country -
"Am I doing all I can to stay informed and be a
good steward of our American liberties???"
