Looking forward to this! As you know I was very active in the movement and I participated in the Salisbury Tax Day TEA Party - I was honored to read the 10th Amendment.

I am honored to be mentioned and read by a published author. Thank you. Looking forward to your expansion of your work.

My wife and I attended a Tea Party rally at our county court house that day. The assistant district attorney asked if he could speak. He talked about how his heart hurt that he had to put good men in jail for robbery, etc., because he knew they only did it because they were desperate. I will never forget that. Times were tough in the county back in the day.

Side note. Daughter as born Sept 17, 1976 and got a certificate from Jimmy Carter for it as part of the bicentennial celebration.

The honor is mine. You write things that are worthy of reading, and right-thinking people need to stick together.

Someone told me there are something like five million books published every year, so being a "published author" isn't really that big of a deal. But I was just that passionate about what I believed had been lost and was worth keeping to write Rise and Fall.

In the second paragraph, how do you imbed those text buttons that show a popup about my Substack (and others)?

You use the @ button, sort of like Twitter: @Frederick R Smith. (Apparently it doesn't work for comments.)

I do not see a selection to use "@" under the button pull down menu. I must be looking in the wrong place....

Just type it as you would a Tweet (or is that an X?) In my "real" job I use @ a lot (as in 2x4's @ 16" o.c.) so I figured it out quickly. I think there's a "help" subject in Substack for it too.

You can beat me to the punch - as I said, it's still available.
