#ConstitutionDay! America, where the people govern and decide, not a King or single person. #Kentucky Even when the outcome of an issue may be the same ultimately, we come together more perfectly when our constitution is followed. "A Republic, if you can keep it." -B Franklin

Celebrate America. The founding. Freedom. Liberty. LIFE. Rights from our Creator, not from the government. This is a unique country worth celebrating. #July4th #FourthofJuly

Keeping the tv in sync with the radio for Kentucky football is an art. I’m an artist. The remote is my brush. #kentuckywildcats #SECFootball

Sandra Day O’Connor, first woman on the Supreme Court, has passed away. Appointed by President Reagan, she came from humble beginnings on a rough ranch in Arizona to become a trailblazer in the law. Even though I didn’t always agree with her opinions, I respected her brilliance.

Just sharing—Our beautiful daughter Zoe is 23 today. Happy birthday! Her brother Thomas traveled to join in the celebratory dinner last night. The family gang was back together again. #blessed

…inalienable: not transferable to another or not capable of being taken away or denied; not alienable. Our rights most certainly come from God the creator. They are natural. They do not come from the gov’t. That’s why the founding documents say our #rights are “unalienable”.
