Rebuilding our country starts at the local level

What comes next? This fundamental question is what many Americans are asking themselves.
The devastating flooding in Texas due to a Hurricane Harvey. What comes next? The continued provocations from the North Korean regime. What comes next? Our politics. What comes next?
Unfortunately, there are no immediate answers to these questions and little hope that answers will be revealed any time soon. This uncertainty naturally leads many towards despair, pessimism, and an assumption that the turmoil, disharmony, and infighting occurring in our country will only continue.
That is until one turns on the news and observes Americans on the front lines helping each other rise above the waters of Hurricane Harvey. Neighbors helping neighbors, towns helping towns, communities helping communities. Meeting the challenge head-on.
Some will argue that we are a hopelessly divided country. That the deep nature of our fissures somehow means permanence.
But Harvey has given us hope.
Hurricane Harvey has revealed that when Americans are empowered to act — particularly at the local level — our differences can be overcome.
It is these quiet acts of selfless service to our fellow Americans that is what has always made America great. And selfless action, ultimately, is the greatest political act because it is an act of love.

Just as Mattis was telling our young military leaders on front lines to “hold the line,” we must “hold the line” here at home as well.
