As the Electoral College votes today, we look back on Hamilton’s reason for its existence. “Among the greatest advantages of the Electoral College, he insisted, was that it would cripple the ability of ‘foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils … by raising a creature of their own to the chief magistracy of the Union.’” – Sidney Plotkin

Do All the Good You Can
Kids,
This season is about loving your neighbor. A wise person once said, “Do all the good you can, for all the people in all the ways you can, for as long as you ever can.” Let that be your mantra on how you treat your neighbor and yourself and I’m sure Santa will be kind to you. And, you’ll also see that doing good for others is the *real* gift and you don’t need Santa or me for that.
Love, Alfie
