Who Will Make A Statement?
September 23rd, 2009
An essay:

Throughout the history of our beloved nation, numerous souls of virtue have issued great statements to our American Republic in times of national trial, testing and triumph. Illuminated by the hand of Providence, these common citizens became extraordinary patriots whose voices furthered the noble cause of freedom and liberty. Uttered from the mouths of mere men, such words have been forever immortalized in the fabric of our country’s past and written in the annals of our great American history. To recall such phrases as "Give me liberty or give me death!", "I have not yet begun to fight!" , "I regret that I have but one life to give…", "Fourscore and seven years ago…", "Come and take it!", "Victory or death", and "Remember the Alamo" are enough to cause every true American’s heart to swell with pride.

More recently, such statements as "This is a day that will go down in infamy", "War is hell"," I have a dream…", "Ask not what your country can do for you…", "This is one small step for man…", and "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" continued the clarion call to the hearts of men to aspire to achieve the seemingly impossible."

However, as profound as these statements were, we are in a time when an even greater statement is being made. Less than a decade ago, on September 12th, 2001 the American people issued a "statement" that thundered around the world – WE WILL NOT BE DESTROYED! The unity, the patriotism, the American pride and the love of country exemplified in those days was phenomenal. Sadly, that statement faded from the ears of men.

Now, after a time of slumber, comfort, ease and complacency the American people have issued another great "statement" – 8 years to the day of the last. On September 12th, 2009 patriots, citizens, countrymen from all walks of life rallied once more in the cause of freedom and liberty. Close to 2 million Americans went to our nation’s capital in response to the abuses and corruptions perpetrated by those in power. No one in that city on that day could ignore their statement.

At our beginning, the Founding Fathers knew the potential abuses government could indulge in, having experienced it first hand under British rule. The knew Free Speech was essential to liberty, and by extension a Free Press would be a necessity in keeping tyrants in check and maintaining liberty. Often referred to as the "Fourth Branch" of Government, this segment of society would maintain a vigilant, watchful eye on those in power, rooting out dishonestry and corruption and calling the guilty to account.

Today, that "Fourth Branch" of Government is cracked, all but broken off from the tree of liberty. Its leaves are wilted and it provides no shade or protection from the elements of oppressive government. Today, it dangles precariously in the swirling winds of hope and change, ready to crash to the ground at any moment. Was September 12th, 2009 the point of no return? Has "Big Media" penned it’s own obituary?

On October 17th, 2009 patriots and citizens from around America will gather around the broken branches, calling for their restoration and re-grafting into the tree of liberty. They’ll call for integrity and honor - objectivity and factual reporting. It remains to be seen the what the response will be. I believe another great statement is about to be made – great because the author is… "We The People".
