WE spend our lives serving our country.

Some of us are immigrants. We are dedicated to freedom. We will not allow the country that we have inherited descend into tyranny nor lose its independence. With true patriotism, we acknowledge and face the challenge that we face a moment of truth in a time of great difficulty. Do those words sound familiar to anyone? They should. We sing them with emotion at every important football match. They are an exact paraphrase of the chorus of our national anthem. Freedom is hardwired into our human DNA. It’s part of what we are. Make sure you vote.
