We should all make goals as citizens of America. This part of the text touched me: "insure domestic tranquility." Loved your response: "Insist peacefully on justice/even in and especially in protest."Carol Varsalonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589714711155938528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682499942234804128.post-49938432657081654902020-09-18T08:27:53.769-04:002020-09-18T08:27:53.769-04:00Thanks for all your support, Linda!
