It’s good to read the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution – and remember what does truly make American great:
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.
And, just for the record, the press is not our enemy. I am grateful to truth-seeking journalists, editors and publishers.

Katy – I love this primula in its “Steadfast but True” mug (a true patriot!) and its relevance to the First Amendment. Good thoughts during a scary political time.

I’m grateful too. Thank you for the important reminder about the First Amendment, and thank you also for your lovely painting. Art can make words even more meaningful and relevant.
Thank you for this fine pairing!
Here, here! Thank you Katy. I too am grateful!
