As spring arrives, let us find personal and political renewal
As we move into spring and the substance of 2009, the year will continue to bring renewal. Changes in power, approaches, and results will impact Clarksville, the State of Tennessee and the nation. For when we pray “God Bless America,” there is the opportunity for renewal for us personally as well as nationally throughout this year.
In 2009, we have a favorable wind of renewal available to re-establish virtues, moral principles, and moral quality to our government at all levels. In foreign policy let us be done with torture, rendition and the deliberate misleading of the public in the guise of justifying action that leads to placing our men and women in uniform unnecessarily in harm’s way and demolishing governments of other nations. Let this year be the year to bury the order of pre-emptive military intervention against what we perceive as nefarious nations. «Read the rest of this article»
