and a people who mean to be their own governors
must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."

Welcome back, I hope!
Thanks Ken.
Welcome back.
Lincoln is on the wrong side of this painting, but it's certainly interesting.
Why did I paint this? Like many Americans I feel shock at the direction our country is heading. There is a great polarizing effect taking place in America today. There are many who swoon over Obama's policies of redistribution of wealth. What will the government give me? If you believe this is the proper role of government you will certainly see great CHANGE in your lifetime. I wanted to paint a picture that portrays the plight of the common man. Perhaps the FM is already experiencing this now or will in the future. My hope is that he will "wake up!" now before it is too late.
