I have given a lot of thought about the 2A column for the fall edition of American Outdoor News. It occurred to me that we are not just fighting to preserve our second amendment rights. This is about so much more. The November Presidential election is a mere ten weeks away and it may come as a surprise to many that we are in the fight of our very lives. This is not just another election. We are fighting for the American way. We are fighting for our traditions, our values, our rights as American citizens. We are fighting for our freedom.
For over 244 years we have been assured through our constitution, the Pursuit of Happiness. We have been guaranteed our right to Free Speech and our Freedom of Religion. Over the past few years, our constitutional rights are under constant scrutiny. There are those who feel that our constitution is out dated and in need of ratification. While creating our constitution, forefathers had the vision to see far beyond their years and look towards the future. How they were able to foresee the problems that we face in our society today is inconceivable, but I am thankful for their foresight.
Tensions are high over the past four years. Radicals walk among us creating hate and hysteria. Organizations have emerged to fan the flames of racial tension all in the name of social justice. They have infiltrated and hijacked legitimate constitutional protests and created havoc. They have instigated riots, looting and violence. These Radical Organizations have created an estimated 100 Billion Dollars in damage in 14 cities and not one Democrat has condemned these actions. The local governments have either reduced or defunded the police. The courts have become a revolving door. These rioters and looters are released faster than the police can arrest them.
It is not just the radical groups that we are up against. We are fighting radical progressive Democrats. These radicals and the democrats have been working in concert towards one goal. Their goal is to abolish our constitution and change the face of our country as we know it. These “Progressive Democrats” are not democrats at all. They are Socialist and Communists in democrat's clothing. They have done everything in their power to obstruct our president from doing the job that he was elected.
Democrats have accused President Trump of:
· Russian Collusion
· Conspiracy
· Cover-ups
· Quid Pro Quo
· And they will not stop.
For those of you that do not know the implications of democrat's insistence of “Mail-In Ballots”, for starters, it is the easiest way for them to substitute their own ballots to steal the election. But there is an even more important reason. It would take months to count all of those votes. They would have to be recounted and certified. Of course, the vote count would be contested at some point during this process setting even more delays. The constitution states, if a winner of the Presidential Election is not declared by January 20th, an interim President must be appointed. By law, that appointee would be the Speaker of the House. That is correct. Nancy Pelosi would be the interim President and that would change the course of American history forever!
On November 3rd - Get Out And VOTE! Do not let this happen. Our great nation must endure as we know it for generations to come.
