"**The greatest ability in business is to get along with others and to influence their actions."** //-John Hancock// 

With federal decisions and mandates negatively impacting the supply chain, it is decisions made in sovereign states by local governments which come to the rescue. In this light, Florida is choosing to be a part of the solution for alleviating the holiday blues.

Slews of ships from the East Coast are being rerouted to Florida as well as a cargo ship from India, according to [[https://floridapolitics.com/archives/468968-gov-desantis-touts-florida-ports-ahead-of-holidays/|an article in //Florida Politics//]].

{{https://content.conventionofstates.com/cosaction-prod/public/content/images/47394/47394_original.jpg?325x183}}Increase in cost of holiday celebrations are to be expected, but the business of getting along with others and influencing their actions, reflected in the policies of Governor DeSantis, can counteract shortages of supplies for Floridians.

//John Adams// stated, **"Every problem is an opportunity in disguise." **

In Florida, the opportunity in disguise was unmasked just before and during Halloween, **"Trick or Treat!"** Rather than opting for the //trick// of holidays being impacted by short supply, Floridians are being //treated// with the benefits of good policy and prompt execution by local government actions.

In his statement to //William Penn// on July 21,1816 //Thomas Jefferson// wrote **"I, however place economy among the first and most important republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared."**

Does it seem to you as it does to me, that we in Florida are in good hands, because of the leadership in regards to economy? We have an opportunity to reflect, here, on the benefits of local government having jurisdiction over issues impacting a state of constituents, versus an overreaching federal government which may not be able to provide the best situation for all states with one policy.

{{https://content.conventionofstates.com/cosaction-prod/public/content/images/47396/47396_original.jpg?350x289}}Convention of States' whole purpose is to ensure sovereignty of states. Article V is the Constitutional //battering ram// "We the People" can activate for ensuring that type and quality of servitude amongst our elected officials.

Through Article V, the citizenry of America can limit/eliminate the shadow government— using new Constitutional Amendments to restore integrity and accountability in government as a whole.

Yes, our ships are coming in and goods are being delivered, but we must stay ever vigilant and stoke the embers of our ambition to pass a Convention of States in 34 states in order to reset the fed in all areas of overreach. Our goal must be bigger than a 2021 Thanksgiving and Christmas. Our goal is to restore integrity, honesty, and accountability back to our republic.

We must always bear in mind that government is our //servant,// we are its //master!// That was the vision of our Forefathers while they hammered out the details of our Constitution. The intention set of guaranteeing that //We the People// remain the master is why Article V exists for us today!

The grassroots army of Convention of States is growing daily. Come and join this spirited group of patriotic Americans who are working for a Constitutional America and for posterity.
