It seems that many people are waking up to the fact that this Federal Government has stepped way beyond its delegated powers. With eleven states at least telling the Federal Government they must respect the Constitution and States Sovereignty maybe the love for Constitutional Liberty is catching sail. Also I saw a report this weekend, and this is good news for those in Kentucky and all other states for that matter, it looks like Rand Paul, Congressman Ron Paul's son may run for the United States Senate in Kentucky. With all this said I have started reading Four Years with General Lee by Walter H. Taylor. Here is a 'Special Order' given by General Lee before a battle at Cheat Mountain in Northwestern Virginia. The battle never really fully took place but I thought this was somewhat relevant today to encourage all those who would stand for Constitution Liberty to 'Press On'.
"Headquarters, Valley Mountain, September 8, 1861.
"Headquarters, Valley Mountain, September 8, 1861.
[Special Order No. -.]
The forward movement announced to the Army of the Northwest in Special Order NO. 28, from its headquarters, of this date, gives the general commanding the opportunity of exhorting the troops to keep steadily in view the great principles for which they contend, and to manifest to the world their determination to maintain them. The eyes of the country are upon you. The safety of your homes, and the lives of all you hold dear, depend upon your courage and exertions. Let each man resolve to be victorious, and that the right of self-government, liberty and peace, shall in him find a defender. The progress of this army must be forward.
R. E. Lee,
General commanding."
