On November 5th, most Americans resoundingly chose prosperity over potholes. Across the nation, we exercised our God given freedom to elect those who best reflect our beliefs and values. Our nation also recognized patriots who have displayed the courage, fortitude and ability to stay in the game and to do what needs to be done to preserve our freedom.
This Thanksgiving I’m grateful for the hope of bringing our country back to a place where common sense, individual freedom and personal liberty reign. I’m thankful for the opportunities that lie ahead in each of our lives. I’m especially thankful for all of you who gave freely of your time, effort and resources in an all-out effort to boost my SOS campaign.
And, while my last electoral effort didn’t pan out as hoped, I look forward to staying engaged with other freedom advocates and individuals who recognize the beauty of our constitutionally federated republican form of government.
Here in Oregon we continue to face an uphill battle. Oregon went Blue because of the votes from a couple of cities, in a couple of counties.
But, the rest of the state was bright Red. So now is our time to dig in, stand tall and be diligent for the challenges that lie ahead.
This morning’s newsletter will be short as I express my Thankfulness, I also want to encourage you to spend time with your friends, families and loved ones as we will have plenty to do in the near future. Courage, Resolve and Virtue must be our watchwords because the opportunities, here in Oregon, will be tremendous.
Lastly, I’ll conclude a quote from President Reagan’s 1981 inaugural address that echoes my thoughts:
“So, with all the creative energy at our command, let us begin an era of national renewal.
“Let us renew our determination, our courage, and our strength. And let us renew our faith and our hope. We have every right to dream heroic dreams. Those who say that we’re in a time when there are no heroes—they just don’t know where to look.
“You can see heroes every day going in and out of factory gates. Others, a handful in number, produce enough food to feed all of us and then the world beyond. You meet heroes across a counter—and they’re on both sides of that counter.
“There are entrepreneurs with faith in themselves and faith in an idea who create new jobs, new wealth, and opportunity. They are individuals and families whose taxes support the government and whose voluntary gifts support church, charity, culture, art, and education.
“Their patriotism is quiet but deep.
“Their values sustain our national life.”
President Reagan’s words are as relevant today as they were 35 years ago.
I pray that we too can “renew our determination, our courage and our strength.”
With kind regards and gratefulness.
