Help Heal the Constitution

The rule of law must prevail.
December 17, 2008  |

I have lived through eleven presidents. The first one to inspire me was JFK; the latest, Obama. The rest varied from mediocre to truly awful. Having learned history and civics in high school, I have watched our constitution be trashed, especially over the last eight years. I have watched those who campaigned on "government is bad" become elected and promptly prove it. All the other problems now that occupy front and center must be addressed but above all, the constitution must be healed and the rule of law must prevail. Investigate, prosecute and punish where needed. Bring back civics to the curriculum. Thank you.
