Guest Editorial – Mothers Day, Armed Force Day, Memorial Day, and Operation American Spring – The Co

Several major important events occur in May 2014.  Mothers Day May 11, 2014, Armed Forces Day weekend May 16, 2014, Memorial Day May 26, 2014, and Operation American Spring beginning May 16, 2014 and beyond.

What do all these events have in common?  They’re all tied to the struggles America has and is facing in defending our freedom and liberty today…the very essence of extraordinary sacrifice, valor, and selfless surrender to the values, principles, and freedom given America by our Founding Fathers, under God .

Mothers of our lost, wounded, disabled warriors and civilians defending our nation are often overlooked and forgotten. A few short days after their loss, mothers fade from the support and care our government owes them.  They paid an immeasurable price, with their sacrifice, to ensure that our freedoms and the fabric of our nation remain strong. Mother’s, who have given life, send their sons and daughters off to defend our nation, with faith that our leadership will be true to their oath. Obama and Clinton spoke despicable lies to the face of mothers of our Benghazi personnel killed in Libya. Politicians, that value political safety over truth to those they serve, reflect a leadership of despicable character and have proved themselves unworthy of continued service in any responsible position.

Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day are days on which we reflect and honor all our warriors, past and present, for the sacrifices they have made and continue to make toward the security of our nation.  A day of solemn remembrance and respectful gratitude for their service and a reminder of the solemn oath many of us have taken “…to support and defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic…”.  This is an oath and willingness to defend our nation which never expires.  Many of our political leadership abuse these hallowed days with flowery and shallow speeches, focusing on photo ops for their political gain…another despicable political trait.

Operation American Spring, will be a massive/gigantic patriot “movement to action” from across America to Restore our Constitutional government, rule of law, freedom, liberty "of the people, by the people, for the people" from the current despotic and tyrannical federal leadership .  This movement embraces every American who loves freedom and liberty, with special recognition for parents, warriors and civilians selfless sacrifices, never to be forgotten, nor trivialized, by the present corrupt, self-serving, political leadership who regard their oath as a pro forma exercise to gain power and get their noses in the trough.

After five years of the Obama Administration's fraud, abuse, corruption, betrayal, deception, and in your face lies, “we the people” have concluded that “enough is enough”. In short, we have had it with politicians who are hell bent on destroying America! All efforts to gain the attention of the elected leadership in Washington, D.C. with our messages have failed.  Not because politicians were not informed – the truth is they are cowardly, incompetent, regard their constituents as “pests”, ignore the people they are sworn to serve, all in favor of their own self-serving personal, greedy agendas. It shall stop.

Therefore, “We the People” intend to assemble as a 10 million or more Town Hall body of patriots to visit Washington, D.C. beginning May 16, 2014, ending date undetermined, to submit demands and grievances for the removal of key criminal and despotic leadership beginning with Barack Obama through senior leadership in the United Stated States Congress. 

God save the United States of America.
