We need more rock stars. No, not Hollywood’s version, or that peppy drink so many of us rely on to jumpstart our days, but fearless, unwavering, truth telling, honest-to-goodness Rock Stars. Like the fierce Roy Costner IV, valedictorian of his graduating class at a high school called Liberty. Roy ripped up his secular speech sanctioned by school administrators, and instead delivered an impassioned, inspiring, defiant Lord’s Prayer to his classmates, greeted with uproarious applause.

We need Rock Stars like Wetumpka Tea Party President, Becky Gerritson, who sat before Congress this week, shared her story of vicious IRS targeting, then looked them square in the eye and fearlessly said, “I’m not here as a serf or a vassal. I’m not begging my lords for mercy. I’m a born-free American woman, wife, mother, and citizen. And I’m telling my government that you’ve forgotten your place.”
