Independence Day

Independence Day

Yes, tomorrow is the 4th of July… HOWEVER the holiday is NOT the 4th of July – it IS America’s Independence Day from the British Empire. The communally accepted reason was that the crown had raised the tax on tea by 2%. There were many other reasons for the revolt, but that seems to have been the final straw. As we celebrate our country’s founding let us remember that our forefathers [and mothers] went to war to free themselves and their posterity from an overreaching government who would not listen to the people.

The US Constitution [along with the state constitutions] were truly inspired and if we will protect and defend it [and them] from enemies both foreign and domestic, it will provide the framework to protect US and provide order.

Over the next several months there will be many making campaign promises, most of which are just hollow mouthing. ;[

Study out the issues and people & then vote for whoever you think will do the best job for us. Many states, counties and local jurisdictions will be voting for governors, sheriffs, county commissioners, some US senators and US house representatives and similar seats at the state levels.

Independence Day is more than just parties, BBQs and frolicking in the sun. it is about those who helped secure our freedoms and about what freedoms we leave behind for our children and grandkids.

Freedom is NOT free!
Ask a veteran and their family.
