The hurdles the Founders faced would have daunted anyone but they hung in there.

"Founders" indeed! They were "scribblers", printers, silversmiths, politicians, and a host of other occupations. Some were English, some not.

They created without knowing - until the very last minute - what exactly it was they were creating.

Once the "die was caste", they had little choice but to proceed...or be captured then hung for treason.

Quite an "encourager", no?

“Will the “American People” remain awake, or be yet again be misdirected or deflected from what needs to be done?”
