"Our American Heritage and Our Responsibility for Preserving It"

Our Country was founded on sound principles. These principles were constructed to preserve our natural rights. These rights include free speech, free press and the ability to think for one's self. America was established as a proud nation, who's destiny to become great was undeniable.

I believe our government has forgotten its American Heritage. Being the leaders of our nation, they should understand the importance of valuing each individual citizen's views and opinions. As a democracy, our nation was built for the people, by the people and that's what we all need to realize.

If we all forget our American Heritage, and deny our responsibility to preserve it then what would be left for our children. It is our government's responsibility to guarantee that each citizen feels respected and are provided with what they need to be a substantial citizen. Our government must help keep pride levels high in our American homes. As citizens, we must make sure our government is protecting us and stay proud of our country.
