US FLAG ORG tells YOU how to FOLD THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

With R E S P E C T - link now!

"The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life.

The second fold is a symbol of our belief in the eternal life.

The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veteran departing our ranks who gave a portion of life for the defense of our country to attain a peace throughout the world.

The fourth fold represents our weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in times of war for His divine guidance."

LEGAL IMMIGRATION INTO THE UNITED STATES - THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION!

So many of us became Americans because our great grandparents and grandparents took a huge risk and came to the United States - legally - in order to work. We know that many of them worked extremely long and hard; some became broken men and women long before there was Social Security or Disability.

BUT THEY GAVE US THIS LEGACY.

TO BE PROUD AMERICANS, proud of our roots, proud of our labor!

ABOVE and BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY

This is African-American History month... and of course we know that the civil rights movement that began half a century ago has resulted in great changes in attitudes about racism.

Incase you missed it PRESIDENT OBAMA's STATE OF THE UNION speech 2010

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

We recently watched the documentary on video about the illegal Mexicans that live in DEER CANYON, in San Diego, who work for cheap and cash at even some of the world's most exclusive resorts. They are living homeless and in a canyon where the developers are making them move camp and in one of the groves there a Catholic church outreach has created a kind of outdoor chapel where they can hear Mass and get a little medical help. Watching this film, one can't help but be grateful for having it so much better as an American citizen.

On the other hand the illegal immigration going on today is different than the immigrations in the past history of the United States. Let's face it - our Presidents - both Democratic and Republican have allowed this immigration, one recently claiming that they do jobs Americans won't do.

Anyone who has ever performed a minimum wage job here in the United States - when qualified to do and be so much more - just spits hearing that. Policies that have made areas of the country of Mexico into vast factory zones where Mexicans who stay in Mexico work for much less pay, manufacturing for companies in the United States, have meant factory shut downs here. Owners just do not want to spoil their own personal profit.

IT ALL COMES DOWN TO ONE THING : JOBS FOR AMERICANS going (either HERE or THERE) to NON-AMERICAN CITIZENS!

This is one of the reasons it is so important for you to BUY AMERICAN PRODUCTS !
THE CONSUMER CAN HAVE GREAT IMPACT !
