Feb 27, 1933: Reichstag burns down. The newly elected government used the burning to turn public opinion against the opposing party. Propaganda, emotions, censorship, and emergency powers followed which lead to disaster. Think critically because history repeats, always.

[Allen Swaim @GovSwaim]

The cure for speech you do not agree with is more free speech not censorship. The more speech is out there, the greater the bad sinks and the good rises to the top. Censorship is the elimination of someone else's opinion because you do not have a valid point.

We, as lawyers, are the last line of discussion before the two halves of America start throwing rocks at each other. It doesn't matter what side you are on, we must work for peace before we lose our opportunity. Investigate All Vote Fraud Claims Now @ABAesq

[Allen Swaim @GovSwaim]

The Lions are proud supporters of Liberty. Whether you are one party or another - neither can serve citizens if there is no trust in the system. Do a complete investigation, find out if there is wrongdoings, if there is, hold them accountable. No one is above the law.

Looks like the NC Council is not meeting this weekend at Camp Dogwood due to the County being called a Covid Hotspot. Sorry Bout' that, but we'd better stay safe. Online instructions will follow soon

[Allen Swaim @GovSwaim]

Right or Left, Red or Blue, we may not agree on politics, but we can all drop by Wendell Lions Club Friday and pick up a spaghetti plate to go instead of having to cook again. @WendellNC @LizardLickTowin @lionsclubs

A real man knows he does his best and then allows God to take it from there. Those that act like children messing up others' business, life, loved ones could learn a lot from Mr. Shirley.

[Ronnie Shirley @LizardLickTowin]

Regardless if I like or dislike the results tonight - whoever wins will be my president - I will pray for them - I will not riot or loot - I will not hate or hurt - but more over I will not change who I am or what I stand for and I will adapt and trust God -

[Allen Swaim @GovSwaim]

Today is election day. When you vote, remember we stand for liberty bought by Patriots' blood. Do your research and vote for the people you believe will best preserve liberty. Government control, in my opinion, is not liberty; it is why Patriots' life and blood were given.

[Allen Swaim @GovSwaim]

I say all the time, "Lions are the best kept secret!" These great Lions are taking things into their own hands. My philosophy of "Do something!" Tell the world your story and people will join you in your service.

[Allen Swaim @GovSwaim]

I carry Dick Daley's portfolio everyday I go to court. He and I never agree on politics, but he was Lion, and I respect his service. Sen. Rand Paul is also a Lion. The disrespect shown towards Sen. Paul last night says more about the character crowd than @RandPaul

Laura downgraded to tropical depression as rainfall, flooding continues in Arkansas https://t.co/rvF94WogoD #FoxNews
Lions need to be aware that this storm continues to wreck a path of destruction; our service is needed.

[Allen Swaim @GovSwaim]

@LizardLickTowin Hero: Are you just trying to make a lib mad? Seriously though, I bet there are people out there that would get more upset at swatting a fly than aborting a baby. Sad, just sad.

[Allen Swaim @GovSwaim]

Thanks to the Ladies @NCLionsInc for dropping off the Camp Dogwood tickets. Be sure to buy several books to support all the wonderful things the Camp does for the Blind in NC and beyond.

[Allen Swaim @GovSwaim]

Phil 4:6 is the Bible's way of saying, "Don't Worry, Be Happy!" I know there are those that disagree, but not worrying and praying consistently makes me happy. If it makes me happy, it must be alright on a Friday afternoon!

[Allen Swaim @GovSwaim]

More than half of communication with folks is non-verbal, even for those who can hear, this would help considerably.

[Lions International @lionsclubs]

Lions in Florida are making see-through face masks for people who are deaf and hard of hearing and rely on lipreading. Thank you, Lions! #WeServe ➡️ https://t.co/2NZl9CNQkL

My little Maggie is holding her first meeting as a Lions Club President. She has been over her first agenda for hours. I am more proud of her than if she won all the gold at the Olympics! You go baby girl! Dad :-) @WendellNC @WendellNCUSA

[Allen Swaim @GovSwaim]

This is just one of the reasons we work as hard as we do. Remember Lions, there is a "Livi" who needs our help everyday. Keep up the good work!

Born with profound #hearingloss, watch the moment Livi hears her mother’s voice for the first time and read about the surgery that made it possible ➡️https://t.co/2yTYrcSuAa

Masks cover up the majority of the "smiling" parts of the face. Remember that if you wear a mask, smile more with your eyes and speak nicely. Too many people seem to be acting rude when they are just not seen as smiling. @NCLionsInc @lionsclubs @DukeLaw

[Allen Swaim @GovSwaim]

During this trying time as Lions, remember where you have been, where you are now, and where you are going! @NCLionsInc @lionsclubs #weserve
