SCOTUS 2nd Amendment Decision

Thomas Jefferson

"Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them."

You can economically MAKE FOOD PANTRY GIFTS . Take time to check the weekly flyers at your grocer or print coupons from on-line sites. Look for the discounted or coupon non-perishables you can not use. BUY those GREAT VALUES then DONATE to a specific FOOD PANTRY or your place of worship.
