Today is Independence Day in America,two hundred and forty years ago today ordinary citizens decided with firm resolve to make a stand against a government that was out of touch with the average man.
This stand wasn’t made lightly,it was made by men who knew the gravity of their decision.They knew full well that what lay ahead was hardship,bloodshed and if they failed to secure their vision of freedom,for them personally,the gallows.
These men were not just the well heeled and well educated of the upper classes.They were not just soldiers and seamen,they were also ordinary tradesmen and laborers.The one thing they had in common was a belief and a dream that rights originate not from a king,but from God almighty and that no man ought be able to take them away.
Through hardship,bloodshed and massive loss they did see through to the end and achieve what they had desired,but the battle didn’t end there.The battle for the cause of freedom continues on to this day and now,more than ever, it is up to all of us to carry on the fight.
With the up coming elections here as well as elsewhere in the west,we are facing a decision no less heavy than the one made all those years ago.Do we put everything on the line and push through,or do we accept the chains that bind us?
Our enemies need to know that we will not yield,we will not back down,we will not be silent-we will fight!
Look at the man in the picture and ask yourself,what would he do?
