Kentucky’s famous farmer/poet/novelist Wendell Berry, widely
admired as one of
conservation’s most prolific and gifted writers, explained it
best:“To put the bounty and the health of our land, our only
commonwealth, into the hands of people who do not live on it and share its fate
will always be an error. For whatever determines the fortune of the land
determines also the fortunes
of the people. If history teaches anything, it
teaches that.” Greg Walcher

Freedom Fest: A Great Success: Recap of Sept. 9 events)
n
September 17 will mark the 230th
anniversary of the signing of the American Constitution.
Compared to other nations, the United States is young. But at 230
years, our Constitution is by far the longest lasting constitution in human
history. More importantly, it is responsible for our nation becoming the freest
and most prosperous nation in human history.
Today, the future of both freedom and prosperity are in question
in our country, largely because we have been failing to teach our young people
the fundamentals of American civics that are essential to preserve free
government. Learn how you can help.
Two Failed Trials are enough – let it go!
