We Republicans weren't around during the first Thanksgiving, remember we weren't founded 'til 1854 - to get rid of slavery in America. At the first Thanksgiving there were only the native immigrants who'd walked down from the north and the newly arrived European immigrants on ships from Europe. Yet they celebrated their survival together with a feast of Thanksgiving, as we still do this week.

Together we're stronger, and free-er, and more prosperous and religious and patriotic and so many positive things it boggles the mind. Of course we differ, but we also come together as a nation to thrive, argue, make up and make progress. We are America - where EVERYONE wants to be!

So in this week of Thanksgiving, on behalf of the Republican Party, I wish you Peace, Prosperity, Freedom and Joy.

God Bless America
