Friends,


Independence Day this year will be so very different than any in my lifetime. 
Like everyone else, I will miss the gatherings, the parades, the crowds
watching fireworks, the patriotic speeches about our wonderful nation, and most
of all, being around people from our community whom I love, cherish, and
celebrate for all they do to make our state and our nation the best place in
the world to call home.


But on top of altering how we come together as a nation to recognize the
freedoms, liberties, and founding of our amazing country, we are sadly
confronted by a movement and many complicit forces who demand we cast aside our
love of country and proclaim our founding as inherently evil, racist, and
deserving of scorn.  These people tear down monuments to heroes of our past,
people who fought for freedom, equality, and to lift us out of tyranny.  Too
many of us are unwilling to confront these destructive forces.  Too many of us
think, "If I stay quiet, they will leave me alone."


Make no mistake, they won't.  The mob only feeds on our silence. It feeds on
bringing down individuals, shouting in the faces of people who are simply
looking to live their lives, and truly would like nothing more than to be left
alone.  And so, the mob must be confronted - their Marxism must be called out
and the foulness of their cause to rip apart the very foundations of goodness
and freedom of America must be condemned for what it is - a hatred of the
American Republic.


For speaking this truth, I have received threats of violence, rape, and
attacks against my home and my children. But we CANNOT BE SILENT in the face of
such attacks against a just people and a free nation.  So I ask this of you my
friends, be fearless in your love for our country, stand your ground against
the fascism and tyranny confronting us, and know in your very soul that what we
fight to protect, preserve, and help prosper today will make for a stronger
American future tomorrow for ALL of our children.  


I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN and I will never be ashamed to say it.  Do
something simple tomorrow,share this message and let people know YOU TOO are
PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN
<[link removed]>.  We cannot be
silent any longer.  


I sincerely hope you have a glorious and blessed Independence Day and recommit
yourself to preserving the values that are dear to us because the truths we
hold self-evident will ALWAYS be a beacon of hope, strength, liberty, and
freedom for people the world over.  Never forget that, NEVER SURRENDER, and
never be afraid to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA - THE LAND THAT I LOVE!
