GAVE PROOF THRO’ THE NIGHT THAT OUR FLAGE WAS STILL THERE

If you are reading this you are part of the resistance.

For many of you might know these words and what they mean. For some they are just words to a song we learned while in school but, do you know the real history behind these words. These words written in action after the bombardment of Fort McHenry by Francis Scott Key in the year 1814 gave hope to many that opposed the war of 1812. A lot do not know that in this very war on August 25, 1814 that the British under General Ross marched into the capital city almost unopposed and burned to the ground, then the war became personal to most new Americans at that time.

Francis Key said "I saw the flag of my country waving over a city--the strength and pride of my native State--a city devoted to plunder and desolation by its assailants. I witnessed the preparations for its assaults. I saw the array of its enemies as they advanced to the attack. I heard the sound of battle; the noise of conflict fell upon my listening ear, and told me that 'the brave and the free' had met the invaders."

Can you see the flag today? Can we understand the pride that Mr. Key must have had that on this day after all the hell he had seen that our flag was still there? In our world of today we speak as many people not of one nation. Our flag has been used by some in their freedom of speech as a door mat. It has been burned and spit on. It has been flown lower than other countries flags right here at home yet can you not still see it.

Our flag has been placed on many shores by men and women that have served our country with honor. The Marines have hosted this cloth of stars and strips on hill under hostile conditions and for what. The men and women of our country that go into harms way wear this flag on their shoulder to say yes we are Americans yet can we still see it on high. The men and women that have served this country have always stopped and given respect to this our countries flag because they know as I do that some day they may pay the price for it to fly.

We have many problems in our country and we are not the people of our government, no we are no more to them than those that pay the rent. That we strive to support our families and make better our country does not matter. Is the air clearing now? Is the dawn here? I cannot understand why our government feels that it has the right to make us accept that those in power understand what life is like for you and me. That the greater cause now is to see if the flag is still there, that after all the cold nights and all that has come to past can we now take back what was give onto us not to our government. Can we turn back the fight within us, about us and show that yes our flag is still there. I look to the shore as the light comes on is it still there? I feel the breeze on my back yes, I think I see it. Wait there is some one there is it yes I think it is you holding that standard high for all to see. I see another to your left and yet another to your right. What a feeling it must have been to see the flag flying high as to say we are here to stay.

Now let’s fight for the real America, you have to know the real truth that we can make a real vote without all the crap from the media or parties without all the money and the hoopla. Let us find real people that live in our world to give us the real voice in this government. Take back what is ours or please just give me the chance to hold the flag. Some would say take out the drama and let’s get real. Do you feel that we have done a good job to this point? Or do you feel good about what can happen when you remember your past.

Long live the fighter

So I ask you my fellow American to join me in the fight at “I am the resistance 2010” I ask that you think about what we can do with our vote and why it was so important that we had been given it. That we make one loud and clear stand and write in the vote or look to the outside of the parties for a real person some one that will take the job not because of power, but because it is the right thing to do. Sometimes it only takes one person to change the world in which we live. Please do not allow the real dream of this nation to be laid to rest without a real fight. Find people tell others and write in your vote. The message we send will tell the world that we are one country that believes in the people not the government.
