April 19th Should be a National Holiday

From the beginning of America, April 19th has hosted important events.

It was on this day in 1775 that Capt. John Parker, minuteman commanding the militia, ordered his men not to fire on the British Regulars fast approaching unless fired upon first. The British were coming because the militia, with the help of local colonist had been stockpiling weapons (cannons, powder, muskets), food, and who knew what else.

The British soldiers had been ordered by King George to stop the insolent colonist who had already demonstrated, via the Boston Tea party, that they had had enough of government intrusion into their lives.

When the Regulars arrived, they made the historically famous mistake of demanding from the militia their weapons and supplies. Of course the militia had no intention of giving up their weapons. When they resisted, a British soldier fired a shot and the rest is history.

In 1933, the beginning of the financial end of America was initiated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who in his infinite wisdom, decided America didn't need to be on the Gold Standard and made his announcement. Why the people didn't stand up then, I don't know. Perhaps they were just too busy trying to survive the depression to worry about what Washington DC was up too.

It was on this date in 1939 when Connecticut decided it was time to join with other states and voted to approve the Bill of Rights. Was it that it just took Connecticut this long to get around to it, or was this an attempt to quietly remedy an embarrassing situation? After all, they joined the United States in 1788, what had they been doing for protection under the B.o.R. since then?

1993, Waco Texas. The Branch Davidian, had been stockpiling food supplies, weapons, ammunition (sound strangely familiar?) to the discontent of the Federal Government, and came under siege by the ATF, FBI and eventually the US military. Texas Gov. Ann Richards gives official approval for President Clinton, through Attorney General Janet Reno, to violate the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 and send in Delta Force to deal with the civilians. The resulting death of women and children would earn Reno the appropriate nickname "The Butcher of Waco".

In 1995, a cow-poop bomb supposedly blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in OKC, all by it's self. We are suppose to believe that countless news reporters, First Responders and even the Bomb Squad, all had mass hallucinations as to the bombs going off as had been reported. Read State Representative Charles Key's letter to the House Of Representatives .

April 19th should be a day of remembrance for all freedom fighters in America. Remembering the people can not trust the government, the people can never, NEVER give up their 2nd Amendment, and that the people must band together, stand together and let the world know we are not domestic terrorist as labeled by some in our government, but we are Americans, in the truest sense of the word.
