Every day I get emails forwarded about a 1000 times , most of them having to do with "being proud to be an American". Ninety nine percent of the time they suggest that if you are a real American you should be pissed off about either 1. the illegal immigrants or 2. the evil liberals that hate the sweet baby Jesus.

I can only imagine what would be accomplished by forwarding emails that encourage ending poverty instead , or emails that don't make you feel better about yourself by putting everyone else down.

Instead of sending me an email telling me how much you support our troops , go to anysoldier.com and actually adopt one (or several) .

If instead of emailing me about how Christian you are because you only want the Star Spangled Banner sung in english ( ONLY!!!) you felt the pride that comes from knowing that somewhere someone is proud of our country also, and though they are singing it in their native tongue they are singing it because they believe in what it stands for.

I love our country and I love what it stands for. I want to be part of what makes us great....and to me that is our ability to look back at where we've come from and keep moving forward, with Liberty and Justice for all.
