In a lovely letter to his friends today, Newt Gingrich reminds us who to thank tomorrow.  In part he says,

Tomorrow we give thanks to the Creator who is the source of our sovereignty.

We pause in gratitude to He who has endowed us with the inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

And just as no government has granted these rights, no government can legitimately take them away.

This is the freedom the pilgrims prayed for, Washington fought for and Lincoln stood for.  

That same freedom that the Locke Foundation has been fighting for in North Carolina for almost twenty years.  It’s fitting that Newt Gingrich will be our special guest as we celebrate our 20th Anniversary in 2010. Plans are underway.  Save the date for January 13. 

 P.S. Tickets make great holiday gifts!
