What can I say that you will heed? I will say what weighs on my heart, the words I have prayed God to give me. So, as I begin I would like you to look over the names above. Take some time and look them up. Research what they had to say themselves. Who is America? Who are you? What do you believe? What do you stand for? What is the last straw for you? What exactly is your flashpoint before you will finally say for yourself" Enough is enough! No More!" Will it be when you stand in a ration line for food? How about when they start rounding up Christians and Jews....again? Or will choose to continue looking the other way? I will be writing this in man parts..... I want to cover everything from A to Z ensuring you have all the facts. Then I will ask you once more,"Will You Stand?" to be continued
