OPINION:
Over the past six months, in person, on the radio and on television I have heard numerous people say, “I can’t believe this is happening in America.” People are in a state of shock. This should be a warning sign to all Americans.
It is response to government, and other violations of our constitutional freedoms, as well as open (and allowed) violations of law. There are many examples, including American citizens being arrested and put in solitary confinement without due process; multiple forms of violations of free speech; the loss of jobs and punishing, if not closing, businesses simply for stating an opinion. Worse, there has been the release of serious, violent criminals back onto the streets, resulting in harm to others, and our own government breaking and ignoring immigration laws that mean serious danger to our citizens and our country. There’s much more.
We are allowing our once-great country to be placed into a state of anarchy while our rights, protections and freedoms are violated. It is time for a major wake-up call. By whatever legal means possible, the American people need to act and act fast.
