Peaceful transfer of Power takes place today in US House of Representatives

Today we can all be proud Americans.  Today power was peacefully

and willingly transferred from Speaker of the House, Democrat Nancy Pelosi

to Republican John Boehner.

Our country is alive and functioning.

Our constitution still works. Our core values are still in tact.

Civilized people can work together.

People do not have to “ like”  each other to behave as

honorable, civilized, law abiding people.

We all must work together for the good of all and we

must be respectful to each other when we do.

United We Stand - Divided We Fall

The American People have spoken.  We elect our officials from

among ourselves.  We cannot expect more of them than we expect

of ourselves.

Respect and Manners are the core values of honorable, civilized,

hard working, law abiding citizens.  These are the values that

will help America regain her status as the Leader of the Free

(civilized) World.   Honorable people will not lie, cheat, or

steal even when the opportunity presents itself.  We can depend

on each other.

We all have a civic duty to behave as honorable, civilized people.

It is a way to give something back to our country.

We cannot do this if we do not know how.  I highly recommend
