Over the course of the next year, we can expect a surge of misinformation from enemies of our Republic.  Each one of us has the responsibility to learn as much about the history of this country as we can and what is at stake.  Do not take your freedoms for granted.  There are those who aim to take away all the rights so many have died for over the past 200 years and leave you with a burdened life, living under the thumb of someone else. 

Current circumstances in this country - and indeed around the world - demand we demonstrate the courage demonstrated by these words of Elie Weisel.  It is certainly easier to offer the encouragement of our words but sit back and let others do the work of protesting.  Now is not the time for that posture. 

Bad things happen when caring people do nothing.  That's at least partially why we're in the mess we're in.  So prepare yourself to stand shoulder to shoulder with other caring people when you are asked to do so.  The survival of our democracy may depend on it.
