Comments on: What Does the Life and Legacy of Abraham Lincoln Mean to Me? http://democracy-project.com/?p=3386 Tue, 07 Sep 2010 17:21:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Patricia A Carfagno http://democracy-project.com/?p=3386&cpage=1#comment-426 Patricia A Carfagno Wed, 04 Feb 2009 18:47:43 +0000 http://democracy-project.com/?p=3386#comment-426 Phil: As we have many current day politicos who like to compare THEMSELVES with Lincoln, there are very few figures that others can compare to Honest Abe. The courage to do the right thing, no matter what the personal consequences may be, is certainly one characteristic shared by both Allen West and Lincoln; A characteristic for which all Americans can be grateful for the opportunity to emulate.

A comforting and uplifting article. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Susan and I are looking forward to being present at the this important event in support of LTC. Allen West who we feel embodies the principals and character of Abraham Lincoln for the 21st century. When we look back to recount to our grandchildren where we were in these turbulent times we'll be able to say we were 'present' and took a stand. Not as observers but as active participants in what may become one of the most pivotal campaigns in our nation's modern history to straighten our course and protect our freedoms and insure our grandchildren as well as their children's legacy. Michael Phil,

When we look back to recount to our grandchildren where we were in these turbulent times we’ll be able to say we were ‘present’ and took a stand.

Not as observers but as active participants in what may become one of the most pivotal campaigns in our nation’s modern history to straighten our course and protect our freedoms and insure our grandchildren as well as their children’s legacy.
