I, along with over a million other great American’s took to the streets last Saturday to peacefully express our opposition to out of control government spending and abuse. It was a weekend of fellowship, patriotism, and glory. The courtesy, kindness and pride for America that was displayed in the crowd of people amazing.

As we descended onto Freedom Plaza at about 8:00 a.m. I was taken back at the number of people already gathering. The crowd was made up of people of all ages, races, and religions. For the next few hours the crowd continued to grow very large. At 11:00 a.m. the march was on. For the next hour we marched, cheered, sang, and had a great time of fellowship as the Capital building drew closer and closer. There was a moment while marching down Constitution Ave. toward the Capital building, I thought about if my children will have the same freedoms we have today. I’m not sure if they will but I promised myself I will spend the rest of my life fighting to preserve freedom so my children can be free to live their lives as they choose. Once we came up on the Capital building it was so crowded it took us over an hour to get up to the stage. The speakers were all great and had such emotion on power in there voice. One of the most moving times was when the whole crowd sang the National Anthem. For the few minutes that we sang we were united as one in one voice. It was truly breathtaking to experience.

The march on Washington, D.C. on September 12, 2009 will be a moment in my life I never forget. I’ve never felt like more of an American. I also believe that we sent a message to our leaders that we will not remain silent any longer. We will protest against corruption, out of control spending, and injustice. The sleeping giants have been awakened.

God Bless America
