Presently I am reading “Founding Mothers: The Women Who Raised our Nation” by Cokie Roberts, copyright 2004.

On page 97, I am struck with a quote from Abigail Adams to her husband, John, who was away in Congress. Abigail is alone, pregnant and working with other founding wives to supply Washington’s troops. In one of her letters to her husband, she laments: “I wonder if future generations will care.” The year is 1776.

The question raises awareness as we see the sad state of affairs of our beloved nation.

We have a president who has Marxist leanings and his closest advisers are avowed communists, socialists and Chicago thug politicians.

A man is known by the company he keeps. Keep that in mind as you resource William Ayers, domestic terrorist, who now — perhaps sarcastically — admits to a blogger to writing Obama’s book “Dreams From My Father”; Carol Browner, a socialist who served as a leader of Socialist International’s Commission for a Sustainable World Society and is now White House director of energy and climate change policy; Anita Dunn, White House communications adviser, works to control information the media may air; Ezekiel Emanuel, health adviser to Obama, who believes health care should be rationed; Rahm Emanuel (brother to Ezekiel), White House chief of staff who is strong-arming any entity who may have differing views; Eric Holder, attorney general, who allegedly uses his position to decline prosecution of the New Black Panthers who allegedly stood over a Pennsylvania polling station with baseball bats allegedly intimidating voters and also wants to bring Guantanamo Bay prisoners to the United States; Valerie Jarrett, an adviser to Obama and sometimes called “the other side of Obama’s brain” who uses her position with Chicago tactics; and Kevin Jennings, Obama’s safe school czar. This man is anything but safe. All parents with school-aged children should be very wary of Mr. Jennings. Mark Lloyd, FCC diversity czar, is working to stifle our free speech and close down the air waves. He lauded the Chavez revolution in Venezuela when the media was silenced there.

There are others to be named in the White House; however, there is not space to name and explain the dangers they are bringing to our republic.

Most of this information can be found online at the WorldNetDaily.

For those reading this, I ask you to educate yourself, be properly informed and prepared to vote for honest and patriotic candidates in our upcoming elections. I pray we can turn our nation back to the republic for which our Founding Fathers died.
