Between 12 Noon and 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 16th, Benton County Republican Women sponsored a flag rally, which was held in front of the Benton County Courthouse to celebrate the 230th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787. Donna Hammond of Prineville Oregon, stopped by to thank the participants for honoring our very special constitution and she joined the group for a photo. Participating were Carolyn and Bob Webb, Donna Hammond, John Detweiler, Charlotte Vickers, Stella Guenther and PJ Hunter. BCRW President Jean Nelson was attending the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW) 39th Biennial Convention in Philadelphia, otherwise, she and Charles Nelson would have attended the rally as well to honor and support the Constitution of the United States of America!

In his book, Rediscovering Americanism, Mark R. Levin describes how Progressive ideology has eroded individual liberty in favor of egalitarianism and threatens the constitutional goverment of our republic. Regarding future generations, he poses the question, "What will they say about us? Will they say that we were a wise and conscientious people who understood and appreciated the blessings of our existence and surroundings and prudentially and conscientiously cared for them; or will they say we were a self-indulgent and inattentive people, easily shepherded in one direction or another, who stole the future from our own children and generations yet born, and squanderd an irreplaceable heritage?"
