LEADERSHIP: Responsibility to work for common good

| December 28, 2025 1:00 AM

Ms. Funk in her opinion writes we may be discouraged by the world around us. More optimistically she concludes; “let us recommit to the kind of civic conduct that sustains a free people: principled leadership, honest disagreement, and a shared commitment to the common good.”  I do not know Becky Funk, but I wholeheartedly agree.

Her article goes back 2000 years from the iron grip of Rome to the realization we should seek “the presence of truth, restraint and moral clarity” today. Ms. Funk advises “….we bear a responsibility to defend freedom, the rule of law and the dignity of every individual.”  She reminds us as President Reagan warned “we seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom.”
