GOD BLESS THESE "UNITED" STATES OF AMERICA
{U.S.A.} Half of our citizens do not even take the trouble to vote. Most of the remainder consider their duty discharged when they have cast their ballots and go about their business during the intervals between political campaigns, giving little or no thoughts to the national welfare.
{U.S.A.} Elements antagnoistic to the AMERICAN institutions are not so indifferent or so idle. They are ceasely at work; in the open and under cover. they are never off the job undermining the faith of the people in the UNITED STATES, in spreading unrest, in arousing discontent, envy, and hatred - those passions out of which violent revolutions are fashioned.
{U.S.A.} GEORGE WASHINGTON expressed the hope that the UNITED STATES of AMERICA would not follow "the usual course of nations." The usual course of nations has been that of the tide in its daily movements • • • to rise and then fall ! This nation cannot escape the usual fate of governments except THROUGH THE VIGILANCE OF ITS CITIZENS!
{U.S.A.} To fight for one's country when it is threatened by violence is noble and heroic; to stand up for it in peace time is a virtue quite as necessary ! And unless there be such virtue in citizenship, our traditions will be forgotten, our ideals neglected and our institution will crumble.
{U.S.A.} What is more important to every citizen of these "UNITED" States of AMERICA than the perpetunity of the institutions which protects their lives, their liberty and their property ?
What is of more pricelsss value than the national ideals and traditions which have given this nation its proud place in history ?
Yet, how little thought the average man or woman gives to this most VITAL of all questions affecting the most previous things in life !
{U.S.A.} Institutions and governments do not
preserve themselves. THEY CAN BE PRESERVED ONLY BY THE VIGILANCE OF THOSE TO WHOSE GUARDIANSHIP THEY HAVE BEEN COMMITTED.
**** UPON YOU, AS A CITIZEN OF THESE "UNITED" STATES OF AMERICA, RESTS THE RESPONSIBILITY WHICH CANNOT BE SHIRKED WITHOUT DANGER TO YOUR COUNTRY !
**** ITS FUTURE IS WORTH SOMETHING TO YOUR THOUGHT • • • •
SO MUCH OF WHICH IS GIVEN TO MATTERS OF LESS MOMENT ! ****
U.S.A. = "FREEDOM FOR ALL"
