The Grassroots Is Coming Alive

This morning I attended the Swearing In Ceremony and Reception for the 3rd District delegation to the North Carolina legislature.

This is a picture taken at the event:

It was a moving ceremony. The legislators had all served at least one term in the State Legislature and spoke of feeling as their election was a call to service. The legislators all acknowledged their dependence on God to do their jobs and the belief that God was the one who placed them in office.

The reason I am posting this picture and this article is that I believe the number of people attending this event (which was put together on rather short notice) is an indication of people waking up to the power they have to hold our elected officials accountable for the laws they pass and a willingness of average citizens to become involved in the politics of our county, state, and nation. I don’t know what direction America will take in the coming days, but I suspect that if some of our leaders attempt to move us in a direction that is not consistent with our Constitution, they may awake a sleeping giant.
