Historical Tidbit:
The Spirit of "Seventy-Six"
"During the Revolution the quota of men for the war was large and readily filled. On the first call for soldiers, Sergeant George King rode through the town with drum and fife, calling at every house with the proclamation, "Rally! The British are shooting our Massachusetts men! Rally, and drive them out of the country!"
Minute men, with three days' provisions packed, were in readiness at call. Benjamin King was one of the committee of safety for this section of country. Dr. Fobes describes the political spirit as active and prompt. He states that the militia companies were well disciplined and equipped."

History of Raynham, Mass.,
From the First Settlement to the Present Time
By Rev. Enoch Sanford, 1870

As we prepare to vote:
Speak. Hug. Love.
I think about the expanse and the complexities of our nations and the world's issues and I become overwhelmed.
Then I remember this simple quote:
“If there is to be peace in the world,
There must be peace in the nations.
If there is to be peace in the nations,
There must be peace in the cities.
If there is to be peace in the cities,
There must be peace between neighbors.
If there is to be peace between neighbors,
There must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home,
There must be peace in the heart.”
~ Lao-tse

Please vote. It does matter that you be a part of our national & world community and choose who will speak for you.
And then go home, do something loving for yourself, hug your kids & tell family you love them. Our approach to personal relationships and caring for our own mind, body & spirit will save the world.
Peace, Jacquie
