Understanding the Constitution and Loving It

Op-Ed

I was amazed to see the slew of commentary that followed the July 13, 2024, Trump event in Bethel, PA, and the canceling of Biden’s campaign.

Jim Bowman

America is in need of another declaration! Our first was presented in a written form, but in today’s fast-paced world, ears are more adaptable to our living styles.
