Addressing Crisis Locally

A friend of mine posed the question while visiting Ground Zero in New York City. "What will be brought out of us in [moments of crises]? How will you respond in moments of crises?"

This was my response:

"What would I do in a crisis? I am not sure. I have been fortunate to not have lived through a crisis. I have talked with one lady that did and helping others is what I would hope I would do. I am confident that that would be my response. As Clint, my friend, mentioned at "Ground Zero" I see us dealing with far greater things in our day-to-day lives. My circle of influence, is it better because of my actions? May it be so."


I feel with the major issues of our day being answered with progressivism. The crisis is the loss of liberty, opportunity and prosperity in our country. More and more of our individual freedoms are being infringed upon.

Now, I cannot change the socialist structure that is our federal and even state government, but I can educate myself and talk to others. I think we all need to get involved on the local level. I became a county delegate because I want conservatives to take back the country starting with my local level. It may not be our natural tendency to go to a city council meeting or run for delegate in our local precinct. I know I would rather be with my family. It is for my family that I am involved. That is not just a cliche, but my believe.

My mom gave me advice on how to stir a bowl. She said, "focus on the edges and the middle will take care of itself." She was right. The local level is the edge, and the federal government is the middle and will naturally follow. We will seize the opportunities to shift the country in the right direction, day be day. My hope is we will succeed in stopping the freight train of this federal administration and majority in both houses of Congress from running us off a cliff.
