America may not only be losing its identity it may very well be losing its most defining quality: our American liberty unless pro-American candidates are elected on November 7th. With the mid-term general election season upon us a crucial question we must ask ourselves as we enter the polling place is whether or not the gubernatorial, congressional, and state senate or representative candidates will be voting for our American liberty or for the liberty of illegal aliens who are carefully disassembling our American culture, our educational and health systems and, quite frankly, our children’s future. The mid-term elections could very well determine our nation’s future security as well.
Why are the mid-term elections important? Just ask any mom, dad, classroom teacher or sports coach who is desperately shorted of essential supplies and resources because their much-needed funds have been diverted to pay — nationally as well as locally — for educating illegal alien children? According to the national group Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) the illegal immigrant children and those illegal immigrant children born on American soil are costing American taxpayers close to $28 billion annually.
What about our congressional representatives who will be taking office in January? They will be taking up possible illegal alien giveaways determining whether or not a 700-mile border fence will be truly built instead of the 2,000-mile fence that should be built. They may be considering another amnesty bill or whether or not your local hospital will continue to provide services in the billions of dollars and forcing dozens of hospitals to be shut down all across America (in a neighborhood near you!).
We willingly embrace the notion that our national security efforts have been firm against post-9/11 terrorism and how we are keeping would be terrorist activity at bay in the Middle East and not on American soil.
We have to address the national security threat which is invisible to most Americans. When a hospital shuts in the community next door, or the local school cannot provide your child with the programs that you remember as a child, that is a national security threat.
What about the jobs that are slowly disappearing, the housing benefits that your American-born family is not entitled to (but illegal aliens are!), or the college scholarships going to illegal aliens but not American-born kids, or those confusing multiple language signs which are appearing regularly in public so that America can be transformed into Mexico north?
What is liberty to Americans if we don’t stand up for it on Election Day? Election Day is the one time we have the opportunity to exercise our choice, our selection, our defenders!
The Liberty Bell should be ringing loud and clear in our ears on Election Day. So let’s begin to prepare for it now. In between the weekend college football game or the favorite Sunday pro-hockey game or the playoff bound baseball team game, take a few minutes to learn about the candidates who either support your rights as a legal American citizen or support the other unique American pastime: 1 – 3 million illegal invaders crossing our borders every year. Their supporters downplay their negative impact and casually refer to them as undocumented workers, which is like calling a burglar an uninvited houseguest.
These “uninvited guests” take away part-time jobs that your son may have had in order to afford a down payment on a car or to pay for his college tuition or supplies. Or consider the next emergency room visit you make to take your newborn in for a sudden illness and you are sent away because the emergency room personnel have their hands full due to treating the first-come first-served illegal aliens.
Is it fair? Is it correct? That is for you to judge on Election Day, but what is not open for debate is the level of liberty that we are being asked to surrender week-by-week, community-by-community and sanctuary city-by-sanctuary city.
FAIR has identified the adoption of “sanctuary” policies by cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego and Houston as a growing barrier to combating the illegal alien invasion despite a 1996 Congressional ban and a 2005 U.S. Supreme Court March 22 ruling in the case of Muehler v. Mena, which removed barriers that prevent local law enforcement officers from questioning the immigration status of individuals they suspect to be in the United States illegally.
In 1950, the United States Department of the Treasury had 55 full-sized replicas of the Liberty Bell cast and shipped as gifts to all states and territories of the United States and the District of Columbia. The bells were displayed with the slogan "Save for Your Independence" and were to be rung on patriotic occasions. I believe that November 7th fits into that category.
What is the Liberty Bell to mean to our children and our children’s children? What meaning will “sacrifice” and “honor” and “principle” and “one union” have for them? Will they have to study the sacrifice of our forefathers in Spanish because it has replaced English as the primary language? Would “sacrifice” be defined in new textbooks to mean “making it successfully across the border into the United States and successfully dodging border patrols (soon to be the bad guys in the textbooks) to take advantage of the politically corrected political system that has torn away our heritage and ravished our culture”?
Think it can’t happen? Just remember the little brouhaha earlier this year when Spanish-speaking artists came up with the novel idea of changing the words to the Star Spangled Banner and having it written and sung in Spanish. The new Spanish version of our "The Star-Spangled Banner" called "Nuestro Himno” in Spanish — translated “Our Anthem” which could handily dispose of our U.S. national anthem and our strictly English-language tradition in our nation’s classrooms.
So for whose liberty will the bell be tolling on November 7th? Our Liberty Bell is not a “Compromise Bell” or a national symbol of “Come-and-Get-It” or even a “Tread On Me Because We’re Suckers Bell”.
What is wrong with our nation when we are so ready to compromise our freedoms? With each successive generation the nation and its life, its values, its traditions, and its language will disappear because we Americans were too preoccupied, too narrow to see that an illegal alien invasion was taking our children’s liberty. We have to stop ringing the bell for them and start ringing the Liberty Bell for us once again.
When you are standing in the voting booth on election day, November 7th, just pause for a moment and think about the Liberty Bell and whether or not the officials who you are electing will give our children a reason to see our Liberty Bell rung again or whether the American national anthem will be the new Spanish version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" called "Nuestro Himno".
It’s your choice…Ring the Bell for America and save our independence. Vote November 7th.
