We arrived last night in our Nation’s Capitol after an inspiring journey for the 9/12 protest, with  stops visiting our Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison and Colonial Williamsburg,

This morning I attended the Freedomworks Liberty Summit, which was attended by just over 1000 people.  considering today was a weekday morning,  I was impressed with the turnout.  Saturday I expect at least ten times this number or more!

I have already posted a bunch about the Summit, here, here, here, here and here so I won’t belabor that event.

After lunch we headed over to the National Archives to serve as the conclusion of our Founding Fathers journey.  We had the priviledge of seeing the Original Articles of Confederation, which were on special display.  We also saw the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and the Bill of Rights.  These holy items are in such a sacred space.  But as I gaved up on them in the dim light of the rotunda of the Archive building, I wondered – is this place too much like a tomb?  Or should it be considered simpy a quiet holy place.  The two feelings hit me at once.  Clearly these are sacred texts.  and I hope that people visit this places with a sense of wonder and awe.  But to display faded documents that you can no longer read, without a clean legible copy in a nearby location deeply concerned me.  our founding documents need no museum  curator interpretation, but they need to be read - by every school child , every parent and every grandparent who comes and visits this holy place.
