Thankfulness is the quickest path to joy - Jefferson Bethke
Dear Patriots,
This week we encourage you as individuals and as a nation to count our blessings. As a country, we find ourselves on a precarious path, and it is tempting to fall into despair and give up. However, God has blessed this country from its inception, and we are entrusted to be good stewards of it. We will not be silent in the face of injustice and evil.
Now, especially as we approach Thanksgiving, we encourage all to search their hearts, restore their souls, and work even harder to return God to his rightful place in our daily lives and in our country. It is imperative we protect our God-given rights.
This week we witnessed a display of the best system of laws and justice known to mankind. Nothing created by man is perfect, and our justice system is a continuous example. However, when laws are followed, when juries do their jobs without fear and truth comes to light, our system can render a just result.
We are thankful for the rule of law and for our Constitution. We will continue to work on all fronts—to protect our God-given and constitutional rights.
We stand for Truth, Righteousness and Justice. We ask you to join us and do the same. We are thankful for you.

One of the gifts Rush Limbaugh gave his audience each year was the reminder of the REAL Thanksgiving story.
It is nice to hear him tell it in his wonderful voice.

Thanksgiving 2021 brings our request for you to take the time to love and enjoy your families and friends. "The family" is under constant pressure in these troubling times.
The traditions that we establish over the holidays are the glue that holds families and societies together.
These are the days of memories that build on to our children's values.
When and where we gather, the food we eat, the family activities we repeat year after year, are the habits and traditions that give our lives value and joy.
We live in a miraculous place called America and we should all thank God for that happenstance.
At Defending The Republic, we are thankful daily for your kind encouragements and support.
We wish you a comforting holiday with people you love and food you enjoy!
Hold Fast,
Defending The Republic
P.S. We ran across this reminder of wisdom and perspective. We wish we could attribute it but, there was nothing to indicate who wrote it.
Our headline reads: "Country pauses to thank God for many blessings."
Sometimes I just want to stop. Talk of Covid, protests, looting, brutality. I lose my way. I become convinced that this "new normal" is real life.
But then, I met an 87 year old who talks of living through polio, diphtheria, Vietnam, protests, and yet, is still enchanted with life.
He seemed surprised when I said that 2021 must be especially challenging for him.
Looking me straight in the eyes, he said, "No. I learned a long time ago to not see the world through the printed headlines. I see the world through the people who surround me. I see the world with the realization that we love big. Therefore, I just choose to write my own headlines."
"Husband loves wife today"
"Family drops everything to come to Grandma's bedside"
He patted my hand. "Old man makes new friend."
His words collide with my worries, freeing them from the tether I had been holding tight. They float away. I am left with a renewed spirit.
My headline now reads:
"Woman overwhelmed by the spirit of kindness and the reminder that our capacity to love is never ending."

(2) hand counted in a bipartisan transparent process, and
(3) citizen voter ID.
