"Wake Up Missouri" is live and local this morning with @RandyToblerMD and co-host Ken Rice. They're discussing a federal judge's ruling involving Missouri's congressional maps. @Brianontheair has details in news. Brian also explains the Berlin Wall bowl and a Fulton connection.

80 years ago today, Sir Winston Churchill delivered one of the most consequential speeches of the 20th century, his “Sinews of Peace” address, better known as the “Iron Curtain” speech, right here in my district in Fulton, Missouri.
What would the world look like today without Winston Churchill? He was one of the greatest statesmen of any generation and among the first to recognize the enduring importance of truth, morality, and justice.
That’s why my bill, which passed the House this week, to designate the @ChurchillMuseum at Westminster College as a National Historic Landmark is so important. This designation will help ensure that future generations of students have the opportunity to read, learn, and reflect, not only on history itself, but on the powerful legacy of Winston Churchill.

On this day, March 5, in 1946, Winston Churchill gave his 'Sinews of Peace' speech, known to most as 'The Iron Curtain speech'.
He delivered it at Westminster College, in Fulton, MO, of which I am honoured to be a Churchill Fellow.

Happy Sir Winston Churchill Day! Three years after Churchill was made an honorary U.S. citizen, LBJ signed Proclamation 3714, declaring April 9 Sir #WinstonChurchillDay
#OTD 1963 President John F. Kennedy signed U.S. House of Representatives Resolution 4374 making Sir Winston Churchill an honorary citizen of the United States.

Any "organ donors"? Your gift to The Churchill Fund keeps the Noel Mander organ sounding beautiful shorturl.at/ioPX5
Other giving options during this 29-hour #givedayWCMO support the preservation of St. Mary Aldermanbury and fund field trips to the Museum for K-12 students

Today for #ArchivesScience we're bringing out 3 of Churchill's science essays. The first topic? Aliens! 👽 Never published, he drafted "Are We Alone in the Universe?" in 1939 & revised it in the 50s

Democracy is the little man, walking into the little booth, with a a little pencil, making a little cross on a little bit of paper–no amount of rhetoric or voluminous discussion can possibly diminish the overwhelming importance of that point.
