Why I Started this Blog...

Reprinted, in part, from a letter I sent out not long ago...

For a very long time, I was asleep. But now I am wide awake. America is in real trouble.

I consider myself blessed to live in America. But America has been changing.

I long for the original America... the America that supported the God-given rights of the individual... and the protection of those rights to life, liberty and property... An America with a strictly limited Constitutional government... with God as her guide, and a belief in a moral citizenry who in return expected a moral, but necessarily limited, governing body... before the corruption, and the special interests, and the bailouts, and the reckless spending... An America where her representatives considered it unthinkable and immoral to pass on a debt to the next generation, let alone as far into the future as you can imagine... An America where you had the right to keep what you earned, and you decided how much and to whom you would give it away.

We need to get back to that America. Where the rule of law trumps the rule of men. Or we will lose her forever.

Our federal government is off the rails, ruling without consent of the people they supposedly represent. Life as we know it in America is rapidly changing.

Our liberty is at stake. Our nation is being "fundamentally transformed" from a free market system to a command & control system, with forced redistribution of the wealth as the goal of an ever-emerging ruling class. In addition to more and more progressive taxation, the government controls the car companies, the banks, more and more land, soon the student loan industry and the healthcare industry, just for starters. Who would have thought that America would ever have a Pay Czar? The government continues to seize millions of acres of land in America, most of it abundant in natural resources. Do you ever ask yourselves why??

And all the while, the president is mocking us... making fun of the fact that many of us feel our liberties are being taken away, which they are. What kind of president repeatedly mocks the fears of his fellow countrymen?? Do you mock people repeatedly??

Many of you may be feeling downhearted or worried. I know many of you are praying. That is the best thing.

Just remember... you are not alone. I hope that through this site, you will be strengthened and uplifted. God created this great nation, abundant in splendor and natural resources to sustain us, that we would remain free. America belongs to Him. I know that whatever happens, He sustains me always.

May the Peace of Christ always be in your hearts and in your homes. With love ~ Cheryl
