Word!

Posted in Uncategorized at 5:29 am by Bill Brohaugh

As a student of the English language, I love many individual words for their poetry and power. There are many groupings of words for which I hold similar admiration. But no words, no grouping of words, can this day (or most others) hold more power than these:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Stop reading this blog. Go vote.

    Well said, Bill. I voted this morning, and it still surprises me how giddy I feel afterwards. I know I am but one person, but damn, it feels powerful. Get that power, everyone! Vote!
