Independence Day
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009As I look back at past Independence Days that I have observed over my lifetime, I cannot help but wonder if this may be the last one that we as Americans will observe in the spirit of our Founders.
We have witnessed a steady and blatant disregard of our Rule Of Law and of our Constitution over the past few months by our Congress, and by our Executive Branch. We have seen them ignore the will of the people and our American values through Executive Orders, and by the passing of bills that were voted on without even knowing what was contained in the draft. All of this has moved us closer to socialism, and more government control of our lives. Our Congress also may be unknowingly handing over it’s power and usefulness to the Executive branch, rendering itself a non entity. We see an Executive branch that seems to have more respect for other nations and religions then our own, and the Christian principles upon which America was founded. We do not need to apologize for standing up for liberty, and freedom.
Independence Day is a time to reflect back on the founding of this great nation. We reflect back on a nation that was born because the people that came here wanted to break the bands of tyranny, and live in a country free of intrusive governmental restraints.
This Independence Day we will see celebrations, but we will also witness massive rallies, and demonstrations calling for a return to our founding principles, and a respect for the Rule Of Law. We will see concerned citizens standing up for the future of our children and grandchildren so that they will not become slaves to the government through debt. All of this is part of our Constitutional right to free speech, and right of assembly, rights which may be stripped away if we don’t stand up to preserve them now and into the future.
We will see Americans gather to show support for our Troops and Veterans that serve this country to see to it that our way of life and 0ur freedoms are protected.
This July 4Th should be a call to action for all Americans to stand up for our heritage, and way of life. America is still the land of the free, and the home of the brave, but we will loose our freedom if we don’t stand together to see to it that they are preserved.
Those that would like to see America destroyed must be stopped. We must stand together to let our voices ring out. We must stand up and say that we don’t want the “Change” that the left is attempting to bring to America through massive bailouts, Cap and Trade, Card Check, Amnesty for illegals; or any other bill that is unconstitutional.
America, reflect back on the past, but also think about the future of our great nation. Stand up for our children. Display your flags, and attend patriotic events this weekend.
Most of all pray for America and our leaders. We can save this great land, and return to our founding principles. God Bless America.
