Proud Principled Patriots.
It is time for a new wave of Patriotism. To take back the meaning from those who have twisted it for their own ends!
Real Patriotism means:
Insisting on making the schools our children attend the best in the world
Investing in infrastructure
Ensuring that our fellow citizens have access to quality healthcare, and ways of improving their life.
Working to become a leader in the movement to protect the environment
Not pretending to be the land of the free while being the home of the most imprisoned
Time to become the land of the FREE. Stand up for freedom, liberty, and truly Patriotic values. Stand up for real values, and let us strive to keep building the shining city on the hill.
"Make a career of Humanity, commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in."
-Martin Luther King Jr.

We must look to the past for the answers to the future. During the gilded age and the 1920s, America saw a huge change in the pro-labor movement. Coal miners picketed, protested, and perished for a better life. Children who should have lived happy and fulfilling lives were forced to work in deadly conditions. The gold age of the middle 20th century happened because of the fight for better conditions and benefits towards the common working citizen.
There has to be a re-organization. Identity politics did not work, and has instead alienated the middle-ground undecideds. It is through labor that power, wealth, and a voice is earned. It is through labor that we will then be able to fight for the individual freedoms of everyone, regardless of identity.
History definitely repeats itself, but only because we fucking let it.
