U.S. can be saved
I was born in Ohio, of mostly German and American Indian lineage. I’ve traveled abroad and have yet to find a better country to call home. I am becoming increasingly concerned about our once-great nation, which is still the best place in the world to live.
The United States is still salvageable if we focus on what has made this a good place. That is an adherence to the founding documents of our nation. This is the duty of our government and citizens alike.
A quote from the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
Our country is salvageable from the tyranny under which we now find ourselves. When an elected president, a few days before his first inauguration in 2008, declares that “we are just a few days away from fundamentally changing the United States of America,” one should pause and take those words seriously because he meant what he said.
What are the fundamentals that he has been changing? Freedom itself.
Please, vote for freedom from tyranny and for those who believe in the Constitution.
