How far we have come

The other day I was looking at this beautiful banner that I found for We The People and I noticed that all of the men pictured seemed to be of the elite of colonial America.  But whatever their motives may have been you have to give them credit.  They kicked off the process called the United States of America and over the years, however painful it has been, the Jeffersonian idea that all men are created equal has grown richer and more inclusive over the past 3 centuries of our existence. But now all of that seems to be at risk as a new brand of leadership seems bent on dismantling this hard won progress.

 Now more than ever it is important that we understand this grand experiment and work and if needs be fight for America's continued existence.
