Keep the Republic

A blog dedicated to expressing faith in God, hope in America, and a conviction to preserve the principles on which the nation was founded. Benjamin Franklin, after the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention, was asked by a concerned citizen of Philadelphia what type of government had been created after four months of closed-door meetings by the delegates; he responded, "A republic, if you can keep it."

American generosity . . .

. . . is on display all over following the devastation in the Indian Ocean. Individual Americans are donating by the millions to help those whose lives have been irrevocably altered by forces of nature. Amazon.com has a site for donations to the American Red Cross, and as of this writing, had collected over $5 million in donations from over 82,000 contributors.

The Red Cross itself reports that, as of noon on December 29, Americans have given over $18 million -- since the disaster occurred. This incredible outpouring of assistance happened over a three-day period.

Stingy, indeed.
