Remember the reason to celebrate this weekend.

The Reason For the Season.
Over this holiday weekend, we will spend time with Family, BBQ, and Fireworks, and many of us will spend some time exercising our Second Amendment rights in one form or another.
But we Must Not forget the reason we are able to do so.
Our founding fathers- scholars, farmers, businessmen.. Not career politicians... put everything on the line- up to and including Death, for the dream of Liberty in the American colonies. Although the first shots of what would become the American Revolutionary War had already been fired, and battles and sieges raged on, delegates from the various colonies came together put to parchment words demanding Independence from the oppression of a Tyrannical King and pave way for Democracy and Liberty in America. They didn't stage sit-ins, candlelight vigils, or recite talking points to the media. NO. These words were backed by Arms. Arms that the King's men wished to take from the Rebel Colonists so that they could not uphold their Declarations.
Today we must continue to fight to continue the Dream of Liberty in this great land. Should we lay our arms down, we may once again find ourselves in the clutches of Tyranny.
During all the festivities, take time to remember the sacrifices those before us made, and Join us in the fight; Send your friends, family, coworkers. Make a donation of time or money.  If we are to see our form of self-governance to succeed, we must all unite and stay the course.

We all need to remember and educate others.
