       When authority figures distort truth, abuse their power, involve additional county personnel and departments in their treasonous acts and denial of due process, it creates helpless situation for honest, innocent individuals. When law enforcement is too preoccupied with preventing their criminal liability from being exposed, they deny equal protection under the law and essentially become terrorists. When you are left with no choice but to report the crimes to one of the co-conspirators involved with concealing the crimes, there is little hope of escape or survival. Injustice doesn’t end injustice. It extends it. http://www.work2bdone.com/live

      I wish all people running for public office would pick up a copy and read this. It just might help the American public out a bit.

      The Constitution is the bedrock of our republic and as we allow politicians to chip away at that rock allow them to weaken our foundation. Many Americans do not understand that if we allow any one of our Constitutional rights to be taken away we make our country weaker and our future less sure.

    on's personal copy of the book "Acts of Congress," recently acquired by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association.

    Washington's handwritten notes in pencil can be seen scribbled in the margins. Washington received the book in 1789, his first year in office as U.S. president, and brought it with him to Mount Vernon upon his retirement in 1797. Only three are known to exist today, the Washington copy and copies originally owned by Thomas Jefferson and John Jay.

    Washington’s copy of the draft Constitution is from the National Archives and will be on view through October. The Acts of Congress can be seen through February 22, 2013. Shown together for the first time, the two documents “offer an unprecedented view of history in the making, through the mind and actions of America’s first president.”
