It was a brutal 7 year war between a ragtag bunch of colonist and the most powerful Army and Navy in the world, until the French entered to help us in 1780! The revolutionary war ended in 1783.

We should continue to protect ourselves!

What are all these people talking about?

“The founding fathers would have hung Bush for what he did to American rights. Its disgusting that he even walks around today let alone makes money speaking.

No sane human being would want to be made accountable for the damage that is being done to humanity.

The worldwide love of America and everything American was born from the ideals and dreams of the people that formed America. Courts with justice, Free Speech and hard earned freedoms earned by races and women. Now that we have allowed ourselves to be pillaged, who knows what is in store for humanity. But now we know who did it and what they have done.

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?

For the record, here's a portrait of the men who pledged "our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor" for liberty many years ago.

Fifty-six men from each of the original 13 colonies signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Nine of the signers were immigrants, two were brothers and two were cousins. One was an orphan. The average age of a signer was 45. Benjamin Franklin was the oldest delegate at 70. The youngest was Thomas Lynch Jr. of South Carolina at 27.

Eighteen of the signers were merchants or businessmen, 14 were farmers, and four were doctors. Twenty-two were lawyers - although William Hooper of North Carolina was "disbarred" when he spoke out against the king - and nine were judges. Stephen Hopkins had been governor of Rhode Island. Forty-two signers had served in their colonial legislatures.

John Witherspoon of New Jersey was the only active clergyman to attend. (Indeed, he wore his pontificals to the sessions.) Almost all were Protestants. Charles Carroll of Maryland was the lone Roman Catholic.

Seven of the signers were educated at Harvard, four at Yale, four at William & Mary, and three at Princeton. Witherspoon was the president of Princeton, and George Wythe was a professor at William & Mary. His students included Declaration scribe Thomas Jefferson.

Seventeen signers fought in the American Revolution. Thomas Nelson was a colonel in the Second Virginia Regiment and then commanded Virginia military forces at the Battle of Yorktown. William Whipple served with the New Hampshire militia and was a commanding officer in the decisive Saratoga campaign. Oliver Wolcott led the Connecticut regiments sent for the defense of New York and commanded a brigade of militia that took part in the defeat of General Burgoyne. Caesar Rodney was a major general in the Delaware militia; John Hancock held the same rank in the Massachusetts militia.

The British captured five signers during the war. Edward Rutledge, Thomas Heyward, and Arthur Middleton were captured at the Battle of Charleston in 1780. George Walton was wounded and captured at the Battle of Savannah. Richard Stockton of New Jersey never recovered from his incarceration at the hands of British Loyalists. He died in 1781.

Thomas McKean of Delaware wrote John Adams that he was "hunted like a fox by the enemy - compelled to remove my family five times in a few months." Abraham Clark of New Jersey had two of his sons captured by the British during the war.

Eleven signers had their homes and property destroyed. Francis Lewis's New York home was razed and his wife taken prisoner. John Hart's farm and mills were destroyed when the British invaded New Jersey, and he died while fleeing capture. Carter Braxton and Nelson, both of Virginia, lent large sums of their personal fortunes to support the war effort but were never repaid.

Fifteen of the signers participated in their states' constitutional conventions, and six - Roger Sherman, Robert Morris, Franklin, George Clymer, James Wilson, and George Reed - signed the U.S. Constitution.

After the Revolution, 13 signers went on to become governors. Eighteen served in their state legislatures. Sixteen became state and federal judges. Seven became members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Six became U.S. senators. James Wilson and Samuel Chase became Supreme Court justices. Jefferson, Adams, and Elbridge Gerry each became vice president. Adams and Jefferson later became president.

Five signers played major roles in the establishment of colleges and universities: Franklin and the University of Pennsylvania; Jefferson and the University of Virginia; Benjamin Rush and Dickinson College; Lewis Morris and New York University; and George Walton and the University of Georgia.

Adams, Jefferson, and Carroll were the longest surviving signers. Adams and Jefferson both died on July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Carroll was the last signer to die in 1832 at the age of 95.

Sources: Robert Lincoln, Lives of the Presidents of the United States, with Biographical Notices of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence (Brattleboro Typographical Company, 1839); John and Katherine Bakeless, Signers of the Declaration (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1969); Biographical Directory of the United States Congress, 1774-1989 (Washington, D.C.: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1989).

Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education.

They had security, but they valued liberty more.

Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged:

"For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor".

They gave you and me a free and independent America. The history books never told you a lot of what happened in the Revolutionary War.

We didn't just fight the British. We were British subjects at that time and we fought our own government!

Some of us take these liberties so much for granted.....we shouldn't.

In Mexico, there is a saying, 'Estoy Hartos' which means 'I've had it up to HERE!'.

We should respect and honor the few heroes, the true revolutionaries, who believed in liberty and freedom so much that they gave their lives and fortunes to force changes for the common good.

So, take a couple of minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots...

As I read these stories I notice greed based, short sighted, selfserving similarities between the actions the Corporations are taking now and what the Unions did in the early 1970's before they heavily contributed to the loss of thousands of manufacturing jobs and the fragmentation of families all across America. The Unions waved a flag saying they are doing it for the workers, just as now the Corporations are waving a flag saying they are doing it for the stockholders. "WANNA BUY A BRIDGE?" DUKE ENERGY Should we Nationalize Duke Energy and all the electric services? We despirately need electricity! It is now the lifeblood of our society. 1. They are an invisible monopoly and we barely even know who is running them. 2. Their personality is pay or get pain. 3. They extort security deposits from customers/users and then shut off your electricity for owing 1/3 or 1/2 of the amount they are already holding. 4. The money they hold in security deposits is in money market funds making them interest, and it's our money. 5. They don't even take their own payments, you must pay through Western Union so they can get another $3.50 out of you for their incompetence. 6. If the lights go out, millions of people would be in serious jeopardy. 7. Service through their lines is intermittent, causing surges and short outages turning off and damaging computer sysyems. 8. If you call their repair services it doesnt matter, they wait till there is no service then it can be days before service is restored. 9. Most of the stock of these companies is owned by insurance companies and banks and we know how that story goes. 10. In this day and age electricity is almost as important as food to our citizens and nation. Do we really need it to be ran by people who dont even have real people on their phone lines? Try calling them, it is obvious that we don't matter to them anymore. me: lights go out; crap I forgot to pay the light bill I Call Duke Energy after 20 minutes of phone prompts me: hello duke guy: how can I help you? me: I would like to pay my light bill duke guy: great, do you have your account number me: sure, 36783963745-098-09786567365237674565 duke guy: ok, how much would you like to pay? the $165.00 to keep them on? me: cool, I can do that duke guy: wait, are your lights on? me: no, you shut them off 20 minutes ago. duke guy: oops, then I must transfer you More waiting and listening to advertisements telling me how great they are and how lucky we are to have them around duke girl: hello can I help you me: yea, you just shut off my lights and I want to get them turned back on duke girl: do you have your account number? me: yea its, 36783963745-098-09786567365237674565 duke girl: ok, to get your lights turned back on you must pay $470.00 me: wow, that sucks, OK, can I pay with a card? duke girl: sure me: OK I will call back So I go get $500 from someone I have been doing work for and put it on my Walmart cash card. me: call duke back, cannot get through, just an automatic message telling me that I must pay $675.00 to get my lights on By now my phone number has been reprogrammed by the Duke Energy Police I suppose, who a few months earlier accused me of doing something with the electric box thingy and turning on the electric in what was my then brand new place,  anywway its no longer possible to get to a real person unless I go to a different phone or trick the system.

If you can't make this meeting, please be sure to remember your favorite charity this holiday season." Promise The Girl Scout Promise can be made in English, Spanish, or in American Sign Language with the same meaning. On my honor, I will try: To serve God and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law. The Promise is often recited at Girl Scout troop meetings while holding up the three middle fingers of the right hand, which forms the Girl Scout sign. Girl Scout policy states that the word "God" may be interpreted depending on individual spiritual beliefs. When reciting the Girl Scout Promise, "God" may be substituted with the word dictated by those beliefs. The Girl Scout Motto is "Be Prepared." Law I will do my best to be Honest and fair, Friendly and helpful, Considerate and caring, Courageous and strong, and Responsible for what I say and do, And to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.

America showed the world the power of democracy and human liberty at the personal level. Now there is a new ability to consolidate power to a few. The huge damage done to America including the wiping out of millions of dollars of peoples retirement savings programs, by people that actually profited from the destruction has shown them that they may need to start paying more attention and start figuring out ways to actually be heard by their elected leaders and their huge corporations including to again participate in their local, state and federal governments activities rather than just be subjected by them. So the choices are: OPTION 1. Let them take/steal their money and use it against them! (Mar. 22, 2011) This woman wanted to put flowers at the base of an Iwo Jima statue! About 350 protesters outnumbered by "armed" city police, county police, state police, federal police and military police. (Job Security? "pun intended", cost to the taxpayer $500,000 to 1 million dollars) They must have made someone angry? Our 2,000+- elected legislators vs 13,000+ lobbyists and $3.5 Billion Dollars. Lobbyists get laws changed for financial gain of whomever hires them. more lobby info. click here a. Lets analize the picture above with the police, we also watched many videos of the scene on youtube. I. OK first the protestors, the night before there plan was to go to the place these pictures and videos were taken and protest torture, including laying some flowers at the base of a statue. They were knocked around, denied the right to take the flowers to the statue and many arrested, some were over 80 years old. II. OK, now the police personnel. The night before they were thinking about doing whatever they were told by their bosses. Knowing that their uniforms would hide their true identity so that if their grandpa, grandpa, mom, dad, sister, brother, friend, lover or cousin seen them abusing those old people they wouldn't get mad at them. So lets think about what their bosses were thinking. Hmmm, I have no idea, but maybe they were thinking "I was told by my leader/boss to cause these people trouble because we want to torture people and since I am in charge of the new "Secret Police" (Secret Police: at the very least, it is a total nono in a democracy, it jeopardizes the democracy and the lives of those that are forced to participate in secret police organizations and actions) no one will ever know I was responsible." ha, on and on. The point is, is the police action representitive of the desires of the American People or a few power brokers. If it is a result of the desires of a few power brokers, then when did we as a nation condone secret police forces to abuse our citizens? OPTION 2. Get back into the game and demand that more government activities (bond issues, wars, local, state and federal laws) are voted upon before implementation. (Online voting is now more secure and allows a much higher number of participants than the secret voting systems we now use.) a. They can now start voting again on state and local issues that we were slowly cut out of! (easy smeasy) Consider This: Are we buried in our homes with just the money we earn? Can we eat it? Can we grow vegetables, raise chickens, etc. Who do we depend on for our survival?....We depend on many other people! Including the people we elect and hire to manage our city, county, state and federal government.

Is greed a mental illness? Have you ever seen any species, a squirrel for instance, stack nuts as high as you could see at the cost/suffrage of the rest of it's species? Are they really leaving the rest to die or whatever, do they never even consider the results of their actions anymore? Or is that the new mentality.

From Wikipedia.org:
Crony ism is partiality to long-standing friends, especially by appointing them to positions of authority, regardless of their qualifications. Hence, crony ism is contrary in practice and principle to meritocracy. Crony ism exists when the appointer and the beneficiary are in social contact; often, the appointer is inadequate to hold his or her own job or position of authority, and for this reason the appointer appoints individuals who will not try to weaken him or her, or express views contrary to those of the appointer. Politically, "crony ism" is derogatorily used.

from wikipedia.org:
Crony capitalism is a term describing an allegedly capitalist economy in which success in business depends on close relationships between business people and government officials. It may be exhibited by favoritism in the distribution of legal permits, government grants, special tax breaks, and so forth. Crony capitalism is believed to arise when political crony ism spills over into the business world; self-serving friendships and family ties between businessmen and the government influence the economy and society to the extent that it corrupts public-serving economic and political ideals.
