George Washington Farewell Address Revivification & Preservation Project: In 2026 What Better Way to Celebrate 250th

His Excellency, the Most Honorable George Washington, Father of Our Country:

From there, His Excellency went on to say;

“But if I may even flatter myself, that they may be productive of some partial benefit, some occasional good; that they may now & then recur to moderate the fury of party spirit, to warn against the mischiefs of foreign Intrigue, to guard against the Impostures of pretended patriotism -- this hope will be a full recompense for the solicitude for your welfare, by which they have been dictated.”

I don't think it is too much to ask for his immortal words to "now and then recur" -- "to be productive of some partial benefit, some occasional good" once every four years in a joint session of Congress. How about you?

Question for the American people:

In 2026, what better way to celebrate the 250th anniversary year of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America than to BRING GEORGE WASHINGTON BACK TO WASHINGTON?

The Farewell Address of His Excellency, the Most Honorable George Washington, has been PHASED OUT OF WASHINGTON by the charlatans and scoundrels who pose in front of the American flag inside government buildings surrounded by barricades and phalanxes of armed guards in the District of Columbia think His Excellency's Farewell Address was a place where postal letter-carriers delivered his mail -- else they consider it some obsolete and useless artifact of antiquity that has no place in modern-day governance and international diplomacy.

That argument can readily be refuted by an editorial in The Evening Star --then the preeminent newspaper in our nation's capital-- dated September 19, 1896, its centennial anniversary. It read:

“It might reasonably be supposed that the lapse of years and the social and industrial revolutions that have taken place since the physical Washington ceased to be would have brought so much of change in our institutions as would make the valedictory of the first president antiquated and useless; as a matter of fact, the words of the nation's father are as easily applicable today as they were a century ago.”

On his most recent visit to Arlington National Cemetery, this writer once again contemplated the service and sacrifices those grave markers represent. It is his firm conclusion was that they didn't do what they did for a government that would eventually PHASE GEORGE WASHINGTON OUT OF WASHINGTON.
