Like Lincoln, I would like to believe the ballot is stronger than the bullet. Then again, he said that before he got shot.

The ballot is stronger than the bullet.

Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, Robert Lincoln bought a nice ski lodge.

The ballot is stronger than bullets.

Jesus and Lincoln, Moses and Jefferson can seem so long gone, so unbelievable, so dead.

I discovered that Robert Todd Lincoln was there for each of the first three assassinations. I wanted to write about the Lincoln Memorial, so when I found out he had attended its dedication, that helped focus it further.
