Letter: America the Beautiful

America is resilient because it is relatively free.

Look at the blockbuster Broadway rock rap musical, Hamilton. A brilliant way of educating the youth, especially about one of the nation’s great Founding Fathers, artists can break though all the mess to make a point.

Look at David Barton’s book, The Founders’ Bible. It has the most spine-tingling stories about George Washington being shot at 24 times by two different Indian chiefs who said they never missed. They never hit him, even though he was the only one on a horse in the battle.

The above book is based on 100,000 source materials. It is absolutely the best history book I have ever read — being a history major, I have read a lot of books and drawn many timelines.

Hopefully we will vote in leaders who will bring us back to the Constitution and make our country again great.
