At the closing of the Constitutional Congress, Benjamin Franklin said: ”In these sentiments Sir, I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such.” And when asked what the convention had created, Franklin’s answered: “A republic, if you can keep it.” These thoughts are as relevant today as they were when originally spoken. Today, Our Republic faces constant pressure both internal and external with the goal to undermine Our Liberty.
In today’s American Society those words are more relevant than when they were spoken some 200 years ago. Today pressure from political opinion and agendas, unrelenting immigration, societal fragmentation, and outside pressures, has placed our nation at a cross roads again. America has seen many cross roads before. But because of these continuing pressures, American’s need an even greater understanding of Our Nation and why it was created.
