The question for you is:

Will you even take notice what is going on?

Will you stand there and watch it happen without a peep or rely on others to do the right thing?

Will you stand-up for your principles and for the greatest Country the World has ever seen and fight for your rights and America’s survival?

* We need to connect/reconnect to our higher power. The Founders provided for this “energy” much the same as the architect’s blueprint maps the electrical system of a house. We can do this in a Church, Temple , Mosque, Nature or with an Eckhart Tolle book.
