Thirty Days and Counting

I had the pleasure of having lunch with Rick Lindstrom a couple days ago.  He and co-author Cory Emberson have written a book entitled "Pursuing Liberty," which will be out in a couple weeks.   In writing the book, the authors met with immigrants who had escaped oppression by moving to America.  They share their thoughts about what they see happening in America today, and where they think America is heading.  Excellant reading.

As we make our final preparations for our trip, we realize that we are still blessed by having the freedom to travel anywhere in the United States without fear of tyranny or oppression from the government.  But there are those who apologize for what America stands for, and who believe that America needs to stand down so that others can stand up.  There is no guarantee that forces from within will not take these liberies from us in the future.  John Adams said, "Liberty once lost, is lost forever."  Every American should ask themselves just how precious is the American way of life,  and if not them, who is willing to stand up and protect us from those who wish to take these liberties from us?  We suspect we will find many people along our route who love America, and who are willing to stand up for the liberties which make America the greatest nation on earth.  We look forward to meeting them during our 12,000 mile conversation with America.
