Freedom of Speech
It is a freedom that our democracy demands of us. Unfortunately, it is also a freedom most people seldom use. When we stand up and state our belief - simply and loudly - we are exercising our fundamental right as a citizen to speak what's on our mind and in our heart about the state of our nation.
One of Norman Rockwell's best know paintings (above) gave us all a few shivers of guilt - and pride - at the young man who rose to the occasion.
We are living through a seriously troubled time in our country and we all need to stand up and be counted as protectors of our democracy. We have an authoritarian individual who holds the reins on thousands of seditious and unpatriotic followers within our government. The situation needs every possible American to fight back against this coup on our nation by the enemy within.
These anti-democratic people need to know they have taken these jobs to serve we, the people, not them! We do not work for them - they work for us!
Somewhere along the way, we either didn't remind them of that or they decided to just ignore it.
Let's remind them again - much more forcefully!
