“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment
               of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,
               or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or
               the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to
               petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

               Contemplate the words of Private Robert L. Hoover, a
               WWII POW, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart recipient:

                                       “LET THEIR VOICES BE HEARD.”

               Our power of speech must be broadcast with respect for
               others, self-confidence, self-respect, and dignity.

               We have an obligation to be proactive.  Take the
               commitment to make a difference.  All our Veterans
               served to support and defend our liberty.

               Do your part and carry their torch onward.


               Our leaders must be held accountable to follow our
               direction.

               I have often been quoted as humbly saying:

               “I continue to serve by speaking up and standing up for
               what I believe is right and speaking out against what I
               believe to be wrong.”
