For Americans, the freedom to say what we want is upheld in the First Amendment. The amendment gives us legal protection to express our viewpoints and practice our religions.
Just as some use their freedom to plant the invasive weeds of intolerance, there are other Americans who use their freedom to plant olive trees.
I do not despair as the news about the creators of chaos’ antics fills the air. There are those of us who are ensuring the deep rooted Love of our Mothers takes hold, one olive tree at a time.
