Letter: Proud to be an American

I do not consider myself a political activist, but I am a strong supporter and advocate of our American democracy and freedom.

I feel that our American democracy and freedom are being corrupted and eroded. For this trend to continue and grow, all it takes is for a few good men and women to do nothing. We must act as responsible citizens and speak out about our concerts by joining groups and / or writing to authorities.

The Fourth of July, our Independence Day, is just around the corner and we need to hold our heads up high and regain our American pride and spirit!
