Letters of Conscience
In an age when truth trembles beneath the weight of noise, we return to the language of conscience — to the measured cadence of thought that once shaped a nation. These letters are written in the spirit of our Founding Fathers, not as echoes of a distant past, but as instruments of renewal. Each letter carries a lesson forged in the fires of revolution and tempered by reason, calling us to examine the soul of our Republic anew. Here, history does not whisper — it instructs. And through these reflections, we summon the courage to act with virtue in an unvirtuous age.
      
      A Republic That Forgets to Feed Itself
When pride becomes policy, the Republic goes hungry. Forty-two million Americans now face lost food assistance — not from scarcity, but from political vanity. In Letters of Conscience No. VI – A Republic That Forgets to Feed Itself, Nathan Sterling channels the wit of Benjamin Franklin to remind today’s leaders that compassion delayed is compassion denied — and that no Republic built to serve its people can survive if it forgets to feed them first.
