Reflections on the 250th Anniversary

Memories and anticipation of the 4th of July, sends goosebumps up and down my arms with a sense of pride, wonderment and admiration for all who have made America the nation it is.

I’m grateful for a pro American preidential administration which has taken the 250th Anniversary to new heights around the country and activities that have been largely bipartisan.

For some of us, it reflects the efforts others have made, on our behalf, to ensure that we continue to have a dream, and a reality, of the freedoms America was founded on.

“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.”

This 4th of July should be a time of rejoicing the 250th Anniversary with all citizens and non-citizens to celebrate to the world that Freedom is still found in the United States, that we will stand up for law and order that strengthens our liberties and protects our rights and freedoms.

As we watch the parade, enjoy our families and friends and see the flags waving and finally the fireworks.

Remember the songs that we sing from the Star-Spangled Banner, America the Beautiful, Color Me America, God Bless the USA and one of my all-time favorites, Johnny Cash and his Ragged Old Flag.

America is honored in song and stories throughout our history, in times of war, strife, and in celebration of triumph and the goodness of the people.

No other country gives more aid and comfort to people around the world when a disaster strikes.

America was founded on the principles of choice and consequences (good or bad); work hard and prosper so you can benefit from your labor.

Unfortunately, in today’s nation we are seeing the destruction of these ideals, and because of that the right to prosper and continue our pursuit of happiness and wealth has been denied.

We need to return to principles that enable us to continue with our personal liberties and freedoms that so many groups are trying to take away.

We need to celebrate the accomplishments of our Nation, raise our Red, White, and Blue flags high in the air and chant USA, USA, USA.

We need to thank our Creator for country we live in, and we need to continue to fight those who would destroy our freedoms, families, religions, cultures, and achievements.

There is no other nation that can provide its citizens with the benefits that exist here; which is the opportunity to better oneself legally, with hard work and dedication.

We should be proud of who we are and what our Nation stands for.

Our Freedoms, Rights and Opportunities can be found in no other country, why else would so many want to come here legally or illegally.

I’m Proud to Be an American and will continue to fight the one-party dictatorship in California, where the only KING is Governor Newsom and his puppets in the legislature that continue to make California unaffordable with their continued taxes and regulations as the “California Dream” keeps blowing in the wind.
