Rise up a Free American citizen!

"These are the times that try men's' souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; bur that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny.....is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."

 Thomas Paine, Intro to the The Crisis, December 19, 1776

  These words ring loud and clear with the troubles our nation faces today. Fear from our elected officials and what they may do, to retaliate against the people who question their intentions. Fear of being harassed by the IRS and privacy invaded by the NSA or some other alphabet letter agency. Today we face tyranny unlike what our forefathers were witnesses to yet their basic outline with the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence demands that “We the People” have the responsibility to protect our freedoms from the corruption of government to secure its safety, and our future. Or as some may understand it better from Comic Book Creator Stan Lee as his character Uncle Ben told the infamous Peter Parker aka Spiderman, “with great power, comes great responsibility.” That power and responsibility lies in the hands of the American people.

   Those phrases are one in the same and they challenge you and I to stop the actions that have lead us on this road. We must unite as our forefathers did in a common cause. That cause is the future of our freedoms. That cause is also the preservation of our great nation from those who are the cause of irreparable damage to its sovereignty and the safety of its citizens.  I look back on some of the most inspirational Presidents we have had and I ask; what would they do? President Washington fought a great battle to secure our freedoms. President Lincoln fought an even greater battle to keep a nation, united. President Reagan, fought oppression and lit the torch of freedom even brighter when he fought politically, to “tear down this wall” to end the cold war with Russia. President George W Bush fought to protect this nation from the acts of terror that were so horribly brought to the streets of our cities.

 These inspirational leaders, never once imagined, they would be parts of the historical fabric that keeps this country’s heartbeat going strong. These men did not sway from the perseverance of freedom. Our nation has faced so many difficulties as the longest reigning democracy ever known. That is because the voice of the people was well represented without personal agendas creating laws. Everything was done to preserve freedom and protect the very soul of our country.

Edmund Burke said it best when he stated; “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is that good men do nothing.”

It is now up to us to preserve our nation. Are you ready?
