The picture was sent to me by one of the visitors to my booth at the event. During the Veteran's Day event in Hemet, California, I spoke on a few constitutional topics, answered many questions, and handed out a bunch of business cards for the radio program and this website. Political Pistachio has been getting over 1,700 hits a day for the last few weeks, and I appreciate all of you that have visited. Keep visiting, tell a friend, and tune in to my radio program!
At the event I had the pleasure of speaking with a 92 year old World War II veteran, a number of Vietnam War veterans, and a few younger vets that served in the military since I did in the early 80s. A number of folks discussed the Constitution with me, a handful tried to challenge me, and a lawyer sparred with me regarding some of the legal aspects of the Constitution. I don't think he was in full agreement with me regarding the danger of case law determining constitutionality, rather than original intent.
Overall, the day was a success. We made many new friends, and enjoyed a fantastic event that included a flyover by an Air Force Jet, the National Anthem and TAPS at the War Memorial at Gibbel Park, and a whole lot of patriotic flag waving.
George, one of the participants of my Constitution class in Temecula, arrived in full uniform - a naval officer's uniform from the American Revolution.
Here's a pic of him in the uniform from the previous event in San Jacinto:
He definitely attracted attention.
Thank you to Helen, Stephanie, Shirley, Jane, and George for all of your help and contributions of items - and to Glenn for the pictures.
