Phil Beaver works to establish opinion when the-objective-truth has not been discovered. He seeks to refine his opinion by listening when people share experiences and observations. The comment box below invites readers to write.

Note 1:  I often dash words in phrases in order to express and preserve an idea. For example, frank-objectivity represents the idea of candidly expressing the-objective-truth despite possible error. In other words, a person expresses his “belief,” knowing he or she could be in error. People may collaboratively approach the-objective-truth.
 Note 2: It is important to note "civic" refers to citizens who collaborate for the people more than for the city.

A personal paraphrase of the preamble by & for Phil Beaver:  We the willing people of nine of the thirteen United States commit to and trust in the purpose and goals stated herein --- integrity, justice, collaboration, defense, prosperity, liberty, and perpetuity --- and to cultivate limited services by the USA, beginning on June 21, 1788.

Composing their own paraphrase, citizens may consider the actual preamble and perceive whether they are willing or dissident toward its agreement.

Freshly and ever remorseful over a similar event on July 21, 1991, I assert that “LSU mourns,” is woefully insufficient. Let Maxwell Gruver’s barbaric demise mark the people’s reform that has been needed for 234 years.

On June 8, 1783, fellow-citizen and Continental Army General George Washington, a devout person, addressed citizens as “your Excellency” and asserted four pillars necessary for them to establish a nation that could survive. The pillars are integrity, justice, statutory law, and good will. See http://loc.gov/teachers/classroommaterials/presentationsandactivities/presentations/timeline/amrev/peace/circular.html .

On September 17, 1787, as president of the constitutional convention in Philadelphia, Washington led the signers, the 2/3 of delegates who were willing to change from central governance by a union of states to governance by willing people in their states. The willing people are distinguished from dissidents by their trust-in and commitment-to the purpose and goals stated in the preamble to the constitution for the USA.

Some twelve generations have counted on theism-government partnership regimes to be “your Excellency,” leaving it to our generation to take responsibility for sovereignty in this nation and thereby collaborate for justice. Will we rise to our opportunity and responsibility to the nation’s children?

Today’s thought, G.E. Dean (Matthew 3:7, CJB)

“But when Yochanan saw many of the P'rushim and Tz'dukim coming to be immersed by him, he said to them, "You snakes! Who warned you to escape the coming punishment?”

Dean says “We should not forget that one day God will judge us.”

Matthew and Dean seem to be judging people when they are instructed not to do so. I doubt their attempts to influence.

The Advocate has reacted to at least one Constitution Day event. Some Advocates are out of town and thus not on Baton Rouge’s mind. At least two were erroneously negative about it.

It should be celebrated in parallel with Personal Independence Day, June 21, a phrase from many collaborations with Dona Bean (d. 9/20/2017) and her advocacy for individual independence.

Phil Beaver does not “know” the-indisputable-facts. He trusts and is committed to the-objective-truth of which most is undiscovered and some is understood. He is agent for A Civic People of the United States, a Louisiana, education non-profit corporation. See online at promotethepreamble.blogspot.com.
