Thanksgiving is rooted in the traditions of early 17th century pilgrims, illegal immigrants or transplants, as celebrations of survival because of bountiful, and more importantly shared harvests. This was the beginning of “We the People.”

President George Washington presiding from New York City, a freedom fighter that the British regarded as a terrorist – first designated the celebration of Thanksgiving by our national government a century later in 1789. Previously the Continental Congress of our nascent republic proclaimed several such days at varying times during the war of rebellion against England.

Some – but not enough of us in our view – are marching once again with the spirit of 1776. We need once again to rid ourselves of what has evolved into a ruling class of our own home-grown tyrants, bigots, book burners, racists and traitors who collude with other oppressive, anti-American governments as they try to import the oppression here. We have progressed from 2.5 million people to more than 330 million with a gross domestic product of more than $25 trillion – an unimaginable number of figurative teabags for a protest not to clutter Boston Harbor, but the sullied Halls of Congress today.

Today we note the resounding words of our Constitution’s preamble – WE THE PEOPLE. Therefore, WE now need to toss out of office or impeach the politicians who don’t understand, reject, indeed mock, WE.
