Welcome to the Silent Majority

Americans have always been able to take pride in what has been built around them by their generation or past generations. I know I am not alone when I look out on this country and feel dissatisfaction and sadness at the state we have entered. The nation has been in more then just an economic crisis but one of something deeper and much more disheartening for those who truly love this country and what it stands for-- not only to it’s citizens but those around the world.

We’ve defended the weak, the poor and welcomed them to our shores and helped them build lives through hard work and passion for a life that they could take pride in. We’ve lead by example to preserve life, liberty and happiness not because it was easy but because it was right. We forged a government from rebellion that promoted free speech and the independent heart. We have broken bonds of oppression with American blood and time and again defended those who cannot defend themselves.

Others and myself are tired of watching this phenomenon that’s spreading across the country life a wild fire. The point of this is to get the message out to those who hold power in this country and to the citizens who are like us tired of being silent. Nixon said once that there was a Silent majority in the country- one that watched their televisions and reading the news waiting for action. That majority still exists and I, the messenger of that silent majority, am now bringing their message.
