A message from a great Republican President

Comment Up
Can you guess what famous person said this?

"You cannot help the poor
by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak
by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity
by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up
by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man
by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage
by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently
by doing for them,
what they could and
should do for themselves."

Col. Allen West understands this. On November 2, cast your vote for Allen West, another great Republican and leader.

    Hope all is well in Lake Worth Lynn, missing everyone, but loving our new digs in South Carolina.
