		Former President Barack Obama recently posted on LinkedIn Abraham Lincoln's understanding of hard work and pulling up the bootstraps for independent success.  Lincoln also understood we are not here alone.  And we're not meant to solve the world's problems alone.  A friend of mine from D.C. and smarter-than-most has taken note of not only these values, but the values of rural America - and what we're doing right here in Benton County.  The goal is to accomplish the most in every possible way for the benefit of the majority of the people - and then some!  Our political climate has dramatically derailed this goal by dividing our nation.  However, we can always take back our flag - take back our values - take back our rural ways of life - and take back what it means to be a united front.  Below is the original post by Barack Obama and the response from a loved friend who recognizes our "dirt road" lifestyle and our desire to build up our communities.  We should all be proud to pull up our boot straps and then turn to those next to us and help them pull up their straps as well.  Cheers to you all and I hope to see you next Thursday for our annual Normal and Shirly Miller Leadership Dinner - TOGETHER!MistyChair  P.S. And for the love of America - #ProtectOurPublicLands
