I love this country, and I have always loved any excuse to celebrate it – especially on The Fourth. We usually throw a big party complete with grilled burgers and hot dogs, fireworks, red, white, and blue everything, and an all-American playlist.
This year, however, as our nation heads in a very dangerous direction under the current administration, I guess you could say that I’m not feeling very celebratory on this 249th birthday of The United States.
To those of you doing the good work – volunteering, donating to good causes, supporting small businesses, calling your representatives, peacefully protesting, collecting items for those in need, caring for the sick, and advocating for the marginalized – every single action you take to make our country a better place no matter how small makes a difference, so do. not. give. up.
Happy birthday, America.
We will never give up on making you a better place, and not just for billionaires, but for everyone.
Midterms are coming...
I loved this holiday growing up and today I find myself so sad! I'm pretty moderate in my views and am just astounded when I see what is happening. It seems as though people have grown numb unless something impacts them directly. Thank you for your willingness to use your platform to say something. I join you in praying that we may all be more kind, caring and willing to be the great Nation we proclaim to be.
