Last night Carden I went down to Lawson For Congress headquarters to volunteer. Along with an army of others, we slayed an enormous stack of boxes full of US Constitution booklets. We had a great time and the energy of the room was fun and positive. This was the first time I had volunteered for any political candidate and it was special to have my son there with me. Oddly enough, as I was there working, BJ’s wife called to ask for my help at the polls. I chuckled and said “Well, actually I’m at headquarters right now making poll packages.” Hopefully I can work out a time to talk to people at the polls.
Carden asked me, “Dad, what are all these books?” I explained to him that the book contains a copy of the US Constitution which is the rule book for our government. Just like we have rules in our home, the government has rules as well. We want BJ to win because he wants to follow the rules. He said, “Makes sense to me.”
Unfortunately Carden was a little disappointed because he was hoping to hang out with BJ’s kids but they didn’t come in last night. Maybe next time. He told me he wanted to go back and “call people on the phone” next time.
This was a great homeschool field trip to learn about politics and our country. This is all about getting our country back on the right track, because our kids will inherit what we make of it.
