Thanks for visiting Patriotic Quill. This blog is the product of my desire to speak out on the issues shaping democracy in the United States today—issues that weigh on me deeply as an American. My goal is to challenge fellow citizens to look past their immediate interests and take a more honest, objective look at what’s happening in our country. Our democracy is facing serious challenges, and it’s up to each of us to recognize those challenges and ask the tough questions necessary to make informed decisions. The state of our nation demands our attention.
The views shared here are my own. I’m not here to tell anyone what to think or do, but to spark thought and reflection. My hope is that this blog encourages readers to critically examine important issues, understand their rights, listen to history, and apply that knowledge to the world around them.
For a long time, I believed our system of checks and balances would hold strong. But now, I fear those checks are failing, and our balance has tipped. I can’t stay silent any longer—my conscience won’t let me.
I’ve chosen to remain anonymous to protect my family, some of whom aren’t comfortable with public attention. The beauty of a democracy is the freedom to make our own choices, and I respect my family’s decision to stay out of the public eye—especially in a time when speaking freely can be controversial.
Patriotic Quill won’t be for everyone. If what you read resonates, I’m glad you’re here. If not, I appreciate you giving it a look. Thanks for reading, and for thinking critically about the world around you.
