Amazing Grace movie

If you haven't seen the movie Amazing Grace, it's about William Wilberforce, the great abolitionist of the European slave trade. Based on the true story, it's a reminder of how we need to stand for what's right, even against great opposition. If good men do nothing, then who's making all the decisions?

Also, a quick reminder to register to vote, do your homework: find out how each candidate has voted or where they really stand on issues. So often, I hear people say they're voting for a particular candidate, just to next say they agree or disagree on something that contradicts that candidate's stand.

Value the freedom we have in America. Be thankful we aren't under the rule of an evil king, dictator or other ruler, like so many of our ancestors were. Veterans were willing to die for us to have freedoms and choices. Be smart. Be pro-active. Vote intelligently.
