A friend of mine wrote these thoughts and shared them with some of his friends. Sadly I’m just getting around to some old emails that I had in my "follow-up" list since I’m at a location right now that I don’t have any Internet access. (I feel almost lost!)
My Thoughts on the Election
November 5, 2008In the 1780?s while our Constitution was being written there was a strong movement to make George Washington ?King of the United States?. To his everlasting credit he refused to accept this offer because he had a new vision for how a government should be formed according to law, not according to divine or birth right. Although this change in format was often misunderstood and resisted by many, I believe history has shown our first president to be right. Many other nations eventually followed the movement towards democracy. He added to this legacy by refusing a third term, saying it was time for someone else to be president. Personally I wish all of our elected representatives would move on after two terms.
