MAYOR MOLLY McMOLE EXPLAINS THE REPUBLIC
As you know Commander-in-Chief hated King George because how he treated him and his fellow colonists. After the Revolution Washington hated the idea of being elected as a King. The power should be with the people and our Government was designed as a Republic. Little Rhode Island and Delaware wanted to be as strong as Virginia and New York. That is why all states have two senators
and the states have an electoral college. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence.
They had all experienced European tyranny, a cruel and oppressive government and this they never wanted to live under this way again.
My ancestor, Christopher McMole, was a master spy for Commander Washington and did
a good job. In my small way as Mayor of Mole Town I lead a tribe of moles. We are actually a
tribe without a country--nomads. This happened when a contractor trying to earn a living covered
up our Mole Town with 6 inches of concrete for a parking lot.
Our tribe had a meeting and voted to travel to a far-away place because on our own we could only travel a few blocks. So...we hopped into an open car trunk and hoped for the best. Well,
living in Los Angeles we only got as far as Santa Barbara where we learned to surf. Then we took a chance and hopped into the back of a Peterbilt while the driver stopped for gas and
we were on our way to places unknown. Thanks to moles Keith and Fred they chewed small
holes in the trailer so we could see the sights along the way and I almost lost it in Seattle when we were loaded onto a ferry going to Alaska. Well, we couldn't go this way on our own.
To make a long series (6 books) short we lived in an ice castle in Valdez, Alaska, hotels in Rome and
Florence and a condo in Kauai, and for now back to California under a football field at College Prep Tech. You can read about it in "Football Handbook."
I didn't make these decisions on my own, Cat Sophia turned out to be crafty and a spy.
Spider Leggs had a web (not any web but electronic that sparked its way to the internet).
Keith and Fred were our go--to guys who could build sand castles, Gus who gave us a
laugh and got us in trouble, but we worked together and even had a human guide, Abby,
who was a grad of USC and owned a restaurant in Alaska and made enough money
to take us all to Italy and Hawaii in the winter months. We worked together just like
a Republic. Even though we were small and Abby was tall we worked together and had
few arguments but we worked it out and respected each other.
Lets think that our Congress stops playing games with the American citizens and work together
and with our President to fight this pandemic. This is bigger than them and they need
to be the Republic that we can again be proud.
Be Safe, Mayor Molly McMole/MMM and Lorraine Strieby,
