I submit to you, that WE THE PEOPLE, are at war.

We have since man first uttered the word freedom, been at war.

Sometimes that war has been with muskets, bullets, cannons, ships, planes, tanks and bombs, but always in a war of ideals.

That war is the most fervent and desperate.

It is a war to enslave us under a boot of tyranny either thru those that do not see us a equal, or more so today, those that want to tie us down in the bonds of economic slavery by distracting us with cakes and circuses, handouts and free services.

In doing so, depriving us of the joyous right of earning by the sweat of our brow, or, once earned taking it from you and giving to one that refuses to earn.

They seek to rob us of our freedom, and even our humanity by removing from us the necessity of charity toward our fellow man.

They refuse to allow us to grow strong in each other by carrying that much needed burden.

One that strengthens us and bonds us together in communities, towns, cities states and as a Nation

They seek instead to have it replaced by a mindless faceless and all too often an incompetent bureaucracy.

That ideal wants us to stop being individuals and become a collective with no identity but what they choose.

I say No, we cannot fall, we cannot falter, and we cannot loose.

To save us, for WE THE PEOPLE to endure and grow, please think on this.

Martin Treptow, a soldier who gave his all to the fight, and is now buried in Arlington National Cemetery wrote in his diary, “America must win this war. Therefore, I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost, as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone.“

Know also that you are not alone, and that we are greater in numbers than those we must oppose. We must join, and we must act.

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” as Dietrich Bonheoffer said, holds true today as well.

Please, honor your role as one of the most blessed in the world. Do your duty as an American, and join the fight to save the nation and our freedoms.
