You can't call yourself an American unless you've read

The Constitution

Our founding fathers built this document to protect ALL the citizens of this great nation. Those who turn it’s citizens against each other are not Patriots and should be fought against.

You aren't a patriot unless you know the

Bill of Rights

And it's not listed in order of importance. They are all equally important.

Declaration of Independence

This is what our forefathers fought for.

Life, liberty and the persuit of happiness

“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Immigrants made this country the success that the world at one time looked up to. 

A Patriot protects all citizens

This land is your land, and this land is my land
From the California, to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
Saw below me the golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I roamed and rambled, and I’ve followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
All around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun come shining, then I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
A voice was chanting as the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land, and this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
When the sun come shining, then I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving, the dust clouds rolling
The voice come in chanting and the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me
