America Needs Us


Yesterday, prior to the President’s “State of the Union” address to the “Congress”, I lay in my bed considering what this man has done and is doing to my America, “Our America”, and as bad as I felt, I felt even worse as I looked outside and viewed my garden, in its “Winter” state, then felt a tear on my cheek. The tear was not for our grey and garden in its usual winter drab appearance, nor was it the usual pain I felt riddled throughout my body, but the thought of what was coming last night, a meaningless, dreary speech made up of words filled with untruths and hollow, empty oratory that could only antagonize those of us who still have deep feeling for a country we believe in, and “We the People” who are what I believe God intended this country to be defended, loved and honored by. But for the moment I gazed at a small wren sitting on a branch outside my window and fell in love with America all over again. America, she needs us, all of us, and she needs us to do the right thing in November, and that is to “Restore” America, restore her honor, her dignity and her good name! America needs us!

I doubt if I can recall every trip I made across my America, or all the places I have been to, visited, or passed through. But I will always remember the beauty of the America I wish I had grown up in, at least more than the few years I did, after all, as an Air Force brat, I traveled the world, with the rest of my family, first with my father, then later as a member of the United States Army Security Agency, later to become the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command, and will always be grateful for the gift of having the opportunity to see the world before it became the current disaster it has become, as a result of power hungry men and women, filled with greed. No, I will always be grateful for the opportunities provided to me just because I was born in the good old USA, I am an American, and a very proud American at that, never ashamed of who I am, but so ashamed of the man who leads this great land as our President. But as ashamed as I am of this President, I believe in the American dream, the American way, and the American will to be great, the model for every free thinking man or woman to strive for! What a country, and anyone who has given up on her, never really ever knew her.

When I lie on the ground and feel the cool earth, I can almost hear her heart beat, feel the swell of the ground beneath me as she breaths. America is more than just dirt, rocks and trees, she is the dreams of every American, the heart of who we are and what makes us proud to be called “American”, feeling the pride deep within our souls. God not only blessed us with a gift, but kept the spirit of America alive in each of us who knows what being an American is, everyone who ever thought themselves to be a part of the “Tea Party” movement knows just what I am saying, for those in Washington who feel and have recently spewed the false premise that the “Tea Party” is dead, it never accrued to me that to be a possibility. I believe deep inside that the “Tea Party” is alive and well, and to doubt that will be a very dangerous assumption to make, but then, that’s fine with me! The more mistakes of that nature this President and those in the halls of Congress make, the more I feel this President is, along with his Socialist, Progressives, in Congress and the Senate are to looking in the want ads for their next job come November. But then, with all the money most of them have managed to pocket from the “Tax Payers” of this country, I am sure they all will be just fine as they travel the world, looking for the “utopia” they all want to live in, after trashing our America. We will get back up and fix what they broke, of that I am confident. November will be the most important election of our lifetimes, and that is not just something one says, it’s a fact, one we all must take serious and be sure to get out the vote!

Look around you and take in the beauty of our America, look at what we could lose if we fail, and we cannot do that, far more than anyone at the “Capital” has to lose, after all, they are blind to the great wonders of the most diverse country in the world. Filled with beauty from shore to shore, an abundance of natural resources being withheld from those who are willing to die for what God blessed us with and continues to bless us with every day. The backbone of those who brought those resources to be the power providing the engines that truly created the roadmap to the American dream. In the way of that elusive dream are men who thirst for power and money, and if crushing the American dream is the price for those we placed in positions of power and trust is preventing “We the People” from the continuance of building our America, then to those who betray us say; “So be it”!

How is it that these men of little substance can travel across the highways that bring the shores of East and West together can in good conscience deny those of us who only want to enjoy the gifts provided by our creator? Yet, we continue to elect them and reelect them so that they can continue to bring us closer and closer to leaving behind us that special gift God left us, only to diminish the meaning of a “Free” America? Yes, power and money drive these men and women of Capital Hill, men and women who for some reason fail those who elected them into a life where five hundred or so men and women decide the fate of millions of God loving good men and women who only want our future generations to know the blessings we have come to observe slipping away from us, and should they miss out on what we have known, and maybe some of us just might have taken for granted “America the Beautiful”! America needs us; she is begging us not to forget that a price has been paid for her existence, so that we and our children might enjoy the many gifts she has to offer. Please, I implore each of you to look at our America, every time you travel her roads, hike her mountains and parks, swim or fish in her waters, and smell the scent of the flowers that grace her hillsides and prairies, painted by God’s finger, what can be more beautiful that our America? Oh, our America needs us; she cries out for our help, we must not let her down.

Although I grew up around the world, I was lucky enough to spend some of my younger years in places that explode with the beauty of an America that a loving God blessed all of us with. He place his trust in us to keep her as close to the way he gave her to us, with all her beauty and wonder. While traveling the world I saw the wonders of what was given to many, and they all were entrusted to protect, so that our children and theirs will know the power of a gentle, loving God, who leaves us with a world of beauty and goodness, filled with generations of natural resources that our President would prevent us from accessing to be free from dependency by those who would destroy us, given the chance. He provided us with plenty and those in power turn their backs on God’s gifts, in order to limit those who want to know the American dream, so that they become dependent on those in power, “our elected leaders”, something our “Forefathers” had the insight to limit their efforts to take away the freedoms bestowed on each of us. And America cries out, “We the People” have the power to change all that by just casting one vote, each of us who want to restore honor and dignity to this great land, God’s blessing to those who understand the power they hold in their hands, they just have to cast their vote and return both the White House, Congress and Senate, back to the people, those who love and hear the call of our America’s cries for us to “Act”, echoing daily throughout this great nation called “The United States of America”! Oh yes, America needs us, are we going to join hands and stop the clear acts of those who ignore the “Constitution”, have contempt for the “Rule of Law” and promise to Socialize the only power on earth, power God provided us to protect his nation against the many who would bring the horrors of evil and hate to the shores that our children and grand children play on, swim in the seas that brought our forefathers who would declare our independence, write that perfect document called the “Constitution”, amended by men who acknowledged flaws of what no man could see at the time it was written. America is calling out to us, she needs us. Look around, do we really want to hand over to those who fail to understand God’s gifts? Can we actually do that?

Last night our President stood up and declared the repeated falsehoods proclaimed by the same President who promised what he knew he could not deliver, for this man followed the teachings of men who hated our “Republic”, the intended freedoms of our democracy, and most of all, that nearly perfect document called the “Constitution” only stands in the way of those who now lead us, lead this nation, and she cries out for us to hear the pain of her being slowly dissolved by men of little substance, but of great hatred for freedoms they were taught to hate. America is in trouble, and all she needs is for us to hear her cries, to respond, to vote, to get others to vote, bring back what is being stolen from all free Americans, their souls. Well, I for one will not allow my soul to be taken, not by any man, but only by my creator, and that will come all too soon. I pray to bring my vote to the elections of November 2012, and make my vote heard, let my America know I have not given up on her, she still matters, I hear her cries and if my life must be paid to ensure she lives on, then so be it. God knows that we are listening; he now waits to see if we do something about what we hear! America is calling out, she needs us, she needs us more than ever and we must and will respond, find her soul and embrace it once again, “We the People” will restore the health of an America worthy of our love, our responding to what she needs, and she needs us! As my ability to contribute continues to weaken, I know the price of failing to give what little I have left and that price is far too high, so I continue, I hear the cries of my America in the voice of every American who fails to understand what we are about to lose if we do not embrace our America and by our votes, tell her, we still care, and we will not let her down. It’s only too late if we turn our backs on her, that is something I cannot, nor will I ever do. So, I reach out for every had that will grasp mine and together we will save our America, after all, she needs us!
