My thoughts on the 4th of July....

It is Independance Day, The day that the first congress accepted the revised Declarartion of Indepenance, to be sent to King George III informing him of his transgressions upon the citizens and colonies together, the lack of attention of the greivences presented before him for redress, and the reason for the colonies decision to dissolve the bonds that tied them to Britian. This Fateful decision would lead into a period of war that would secure that independance. Today is a day to celebrate the sacrifices of those that fought for our independance and subsequant freedom. But is this the same nation that they fought for in the past?

I am speaking Constitutional not Confederated. The Articles of Conderation was a piece of crap that needed to scrapped. The revolution was truly served by creating the Constitution. But this Constitution is being slowly eroded by those who would reinterpret the meanings or just plain re-witing the original meanings (that were so plainly well written by the founding fathersthat anyone could understand them). Why are We The People so quiet about these transgressions upon our rights that were guarenteed by our forefathers? Are We The People now sheep to the government? Where is the America that was brought forth by those whom fought and died for the American Revolution?

As you are celebrating the Fourth of July, think upon the origional concept of our nations birth brought forth by those founding fathers and those that fought to to bring that concept to fruition. If we don't remember those concepts, then the United States of America I read about in history class and still read about is truly dead in my eyes.
