There was a very touching moment at last night’s Congressional Baseball Game.

As the crowd watched, all cheering, some crying, wounded Capitol Police Officer David Bailey hobbled to the pitcher’s mound on crutches. Before a roaring audience, Bailey threw out the ceremonial first pitch to get the game underway.

Accompanied at the mound by baseball legend Joe Torre, Bailey carefully tossed the opening pitch to home plate, then waved to the still cheering crowd.

Ex-Army officer and stone-cold patriot, Thomas Madison is on a mission to contribute in any and every way to the restoration of and strict obedience to the United States Constitution, that divinely-inspired, concise, intentionally and specifically broad (wrap your head around that oxymoron) blueprint which has gifted the world with the concept and realization of individual liberty and unlimited prosperity. We, as a nation, have lost our way. We have spent the past one-hundred years attempting to fix what was never broken. As with building anything, when you can't figure it out, consult the blueprint. So too with rebuilding America, the blueprint for which is the United States Constitution.
