“People who care about animals tend to care about people. They don’t care about animals to the exclusion of people. Caring is not a finite resource and, even more than that, it’s like a muscle: the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.”

Did you know that most animal legislation happens at the state level?
There are also federal animal protection laws. Some cities and counties pass ordinances to protect animals by citizens like you and me.

"Never let success hide its emptiness from you, achievement its nothingness, toil its desolation. And so...keep alive the incentive to push on further, that pain in the soul which drives us beyond ourselves...
Do not look back. And do not dream about the future, either. It will neither give you back the past, nor satisfy your other daydreams. Your duty, your reward - your destiny - are here and now."

14th Amendment and Disqualification Section Three of the 14th Amendment
disqualifies individuals who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution from holding federal or state office. This provision, arising after the Civil War, aimed to prevent former Confederates from regaining political power and undermining Reconstruction efforts.
It serves as a reminder of the gravity of the oath taken by public officials.
... "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath… to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."
This clause underscores the commitment to uphold the Constitution.

FDR's 8th State of the Union Address: 'The Four Freedoms’
January 6, 1941
As the war in Europe intensified and America’s allies lobbied for increased assistance, FDR used his eighth State of the Union address to try and move the nation away from its long-held isolationist stance.
____________________________________________________
"...The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want, which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants— everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear, which, translated into world terms, means a worldwide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world..."
" A republic if you can keep it."
~Benjamin Franklin
