Very Cool

My children are homeschooled by their mother and sometimes myself. First and foremost, we earnestly desire them to be great citizens of Heaven. We teach from a biblical worldview and instruct them accordingly. Part of that worldview and instruction is a love for liberty and being a good citizen on earth. We resently required our oldest son (8, 7 at the time) and daughter (9) to write a letter to president elect Obama. My daughters letter was nice, encouraging and cordial. My son however would not write to him but rather chose to write a letter to Ron Paul. Here is what he wrote:
December 15, 2008
Congressman Ron Paul
601 25th Street, Suite 216
Galveston, TX 77550
Dear Ron Paul
I wish you could have become president. My parents voted for Chuck Baldwin just because you said to. I made a Christmas ornament for my dad. It was a Ron Paul blimp. He really liked it. I agree with you on how to keep us free by obeying the Constitution. I would have voted for you if I were old enough to vote but I am only seven.
Yours truly,
....

Now i was a little disappointed that he thinks I voted Chuck Baldwin because Ron Paul told me too. No, I was planning on voting for Mr. Baldwin as soon as the primaries were over. However, I like the rest of the letter.

So, yesterday, my son gets a letter back from Ron Paul. Here is what he said.

Dear ... :
Thank you for taking the time to contact me with your kind words. I want to not only thank you, but also your parents for supporting me. Please know ai will continue to do all I can as Congressman to restore liberty to the united States of America.
..., I have also enclosed a copy of the US Constitution for you to have and cherish all the days of your life. Best of wishes to you in your future.
Sincerely,
Ron Paul

Both the letter and the constitution were signed by Ron Paul. Very Cool!
