America will stand or fall determined by our actions

“The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army”

– Gen. George Washington, to his troops before the battle of Long Island

The rest is my thoughts:

We are doomed to see history repeat itself if we forget that America was established to be the land of the free. If we forget that our Constitution and bill of rights are legal documents that guarantee that America shall always remain free. If we forget that it is the responsibility of the American peoples to uphold defend and enforce these documents and to stand with courage united against any attempt by foreign or domestic tyrants who would by deception or force attempt to destroy our freedoms guaranteed by these documents.

I think that the time is at hand when we as American citizens must choose which side of the fence we are on. We can no longer afford to walk in the middle we will either have the courage to continue to live free or like cowards of other fallen countries by our own cowardice will surrender our country and our individual rights to unjust laws and regulations imposed upon us by the enemies of freedom.

America will stand or fall determined by our actions let us not forget that America is supposed to be governed of the people, by the people and for the people.

We are supposed to have a government controlled by the power of the people. Not a people controlled by the power of the government.

Know this It is the people who will keep America free or who will surrender its freedom.
