I’ve been doing a lot of contemplating lately on the state of the nation
lately. Well, more than usual anyway. Now we know that it’s been
said that only 3% of the colonists
were active in the fight for our freedom during the American
Revolution. That number has been
disproven, but you get the picture.
I want to share a few thoughts with
you all this month, especially since
June 14th is Flag Day. Every meeting we have, the Pledge of allegiance is said. Is it something you
mean or are you just going through
the motions?
“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of
the United States of America and
to the Republic for which it
stands, one Nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
The pledge is an expression of allegiance to the flag of the United
States and the republic of the
United States of America. It is supposed to let us know who is on our
side.
I came across this quote recently,
and for me it fits in with our pledge
of allegiance.
“It takes guts to speak up against
unfairness when others stay quiet.
Good allies don’t hide in the shadows. They show up and support
through their actions. Stepping up
once isn’t enough. Allyship is a
journey, not a one-time destination.” Chester Elton
There is a lot of talk in certain circles about loyalty to our country,
patriotism, brotherhood, etc.
Allyship is a journey, not a one-time
destination. And remember that it’s
not about your feelings or your personal agenda. It’s all about standing
up for our Republic INDIVISABLE
with liberty and justice FOR ALL!
To me, that is what ABATE stands
for. FOR ALL. Cruiser riders, sport
bike riders, dirt bike riders, mopeds
and scooters too.
I’d like to see 3% of the motorcyclists in Arizona as members of
ABATE. I’d like to see 3% of the
motorcyclists join us on our journey
to fight for liberty and justice for
all.
Will you show up and support and
be a part of a team of good allies?
Be good to one another.
