A few weeks ago, I posted several messages on my social networks:
1. What make America a nation? 2. What makes a nation a nation? 3. What do Americans have in common? 4. What is a nation? 5. What makes the US a country? 6. How could you make the US happier and stronger? 7. Are you supporting your nation by your own consent? 8. Are you forced to be a citizen? 9. What actions makes a person a citizen?
And usually when I pose questions I hope that will make people think, I have a very good idea of the answers. Usually, I am totally certain of the answers.
But with these questions, I only had a vague idea. It wasn't really clear and I was hoping for some feedback to help me crystallize my thoughts.
While I did get some feedback, the answers were vague and mostly guesses. They didn't know either.
Recently, the answer came to me!
"The Constitution"
It is The Constitution that makes America what it is. It makes the nation, the country. It is what we have in common.
Originally, our founding fathers wrote up this document based on their struggles with England and the King. We fought a war because of injustices.
With these battles fresh in their minds, they set out to create a nation that would not soon become an “England” in the future.
They wanted to guarantee Americans had rights and freedoms. These, they outlined in the constitution. They did not want the federal government to have certain powers. This to was spelled out in the constitution. The government was created by the Constitution.
They wanted the States to have certain powers and spelled that out clearly.
It is based on the strength of this document that America has stayed strong.
Where The Constitution was found lacking, there were amendments made.
The Constitution was a solid agreement amongst our founding fathers. This created a reality, America.
The amendments were further agreements. These agreements altered the reality, America.
The Constitution is the strength of America today.
America's strength came from the alignment of our people created by this document, by the agreements, the reality these agreement created!
The amendments further aligned the peoples of America giving us more strength.
The Constitution, the amendments, freedom of speech, religion, the right to bear arms. All these rights gave freedom to Americans.
For a comparison, take a nation with no guarantees of rights, no alignment by a common agreed upon document. They do not have a shared reality. Each man is working for himself only, there is no alignment, no team work.
Have you ever seen great free efforts from an oppressed people? No they are busy trying to survive in the confusion, fighting each other and the “government” or ruling forces!
This is a reality!
By guaranteeing freedoms, people are allowed to be self-determined. Free people, self-determined people are powerful and work hard. They work together.
America is The Constitution. It's agreements have created this nation. Every point of it must be preserved or the majority must agree upon changes.
If we allow a single point to be eroded, it weakens the whole, weakens the alignment, weakens America.
The Fourth of July is our nation's birthday. To be able to continue to celebrate this event in the future, we must work now to keep the Constitution strong against all efforts, well intended or out right bad efforts, to erode our rights!
Those forces, groups, individual people that are trying to bypass the Constitution, weakening the Constitution are working to destroy America.
Passing a law that is contrary to The Constitution greatly damages America. It shatters the agreements that make us a great nation.
Any group can have some differences but with adequate open honest communication, those differences can be vanished.
Back room deals, hidden and dishonest efforts to get bills passed, that have not even been read, are acts of treason to the American people. Dishonesty, secrecy, deceit, are the tools of traitors.
Those efforts by those lawmakers and the puppet masters pulling the strings are Treasonous.
Their efforts are a direct attack on the strength of America. They are directly attacking the very agreements that created this country, this nation, America! They are attacking The Constitution!
There is a solution.
Read The Constitution. Get others to read it. Americans must know their rights!
There are too many good Americans that have supported these back room agreements because they do not know The Constitution, do not know what the federal government should be doing and should not be doing.
Lack of agreement, lack of alignment, due to ignorance of many Americans gives support to traitors. This ignorance and misdirected support is allowing the bad guys to slowly destroy America. It happens so slowly it is barely noticed...but the destruction, the erosion hard won our rights is happening. You need to know the agreement that made America great. You need to read The Constitution. If you have difficulty, there are summaries. Here's a good one: "The People's Guide to the United States Constitution” by Dave Kluge http://is.gd/d8xng
Also, you can obtain copies of The Constitution at no cost from The Heritage Foundation http://is.gd/d8xiV In closing, America is strong because we have fought for our freedom, for human and civil rights over and over.
Vote! Write congress. The fight will never be over.
The cost of freedom is the constant awareness of threats to your freedom and a willingness to defend freedom itself!
The wrong thing to do this Fourth of July is NOTHING. Take some action.
There are so so many great Americans and so very few really bad people trying to destroy our nation.
Know our friends by their actions. Don't listen to their words, their beautiful speeches.
Don't trust one source for your information. Main stream media is totally controlled and paid to print/broadcast specific viewpoints. The media lives off fear and confusion. They are not trustworthy!
Also, on the internet, watch the source as the bad guys lie and act like they are “trying to help”. Help that is really treason. We know who committed the 9/11 crimes. But who was responsible for atrocities? You can gain the answer by asking, “Who is profiting?” But this is not about the insane criminal actions of 9/11. It's more about the resulting actions of our government afterward! This is about the broad lessening our rights in the name of security. The wrong thing to do this Fourth of July is NOTHING.
This is YOUR America. Protect it by learning, by acting, communicating. Know your rights and stand up for them!

Have a very happy and active Fourth of July celebrating our nation's birthday and taking actions to keep America strong and in agreement via The Constitution!
