We often refer to Independence Day on the Fourth of July as a holiday.
But it is not. It’s a day of remembrance, to remind ourselves and our progeny that our Liberty, our Freedom, is not free. That it comes at a price and many of us know someone who has paid that price.
If you honor their sacrifices, then you must do what you can to ensure that this nation shall never perish from the Earth, as a citizen it’s your duty.
So enjoy the Fireworks and your friends and family, take the day off from politics.
But get your asses back on the job on July 5th — because with the despot who is the sitting President of the United States, there’s some question of whether or not we’ll be having this “holiday” again next year.
Twitter had a lovely time today with #secondcivilwarletters and it reminded me of what this day is truly supposed to mean. Not just a day to enjoy your freedom, but one to remind you that someday you or yours may have to answer the Call to defend the Republic — and this time around, luckily for us, that call is to Register voters and get them to the polls this year in record numbers.
You can do your part easy enough.
Contact at least ONE PERSON whom you know never votes. Call them, visit them, badger and/or cajole them. Do what it takes to get them registered (super easy at Vote.gov or RockTheVote.org) and then make sure they get to the Polls in November.
Remember — 1 out of 3 people NEVER vote and never have, not since at least 1915, and that’s just the presidential election years. The mid-terms are WORSE by far:
Have a Safe and Happy Fourth of July, and to start off the happy part here are some of the #secondcivilwarletters:
xMy Love, Our commanders have become intolerable. General Guiliani has disappeared, Colonel Sanders has lied to us about what we face and Sergeant Cohen gives all indications he may be a traitor. Our supplies were also stolen. We suspect Private Pruitt. #SecondCivilWarLetters
— Pup (@Lady_Pup) July 3, 2018 xDear Family, We have found that the best way to defeat the red hats is to retreat quickly after engaging them in battle. They shoot into the air in celebration. All we have to do is wait for gravity to aid us. Mother Science is on our side.#secondcivilwarletters
— Absolutely, Definitely Not a Cat (@LambyBrightstar) July 3, 2018 xMy dearest: I accidentally used a three syllable word today in conversation at Fort MAGA. I fear my cover as Buford T. Cousinhumper III is compromised.I have completed my mission of stealing all the truck nuts and AR firing pins. #secondcivilwarletters
— LiberalVeteran #VetsResistSquadron (@LaLiberalVetera) July 3, 2018 xDearest,I am okay. I was almost captured by a curly hair blonde girl with an AR-15. But she was just taking selfies with the gun so I was able to escape.Best,Tony #secondcivilwarletters

— Michelle Laven (@shellaven) July 4, 2018 xMy dearest Mary,Today we captured a platoon of red hat troopers retreating from Bowling Green . Much to our surprise , we were not able to squeeze any intelligence out of them . #SecondCivilWarLetters
— Slipittotheandroid (@Ibbeguri) July 3, 2018 xDear Paw,Today I came upon a most gruesome scene. Two men in MAGA hats lay on the ground bleeding to death as they shot each other thinking the other was the bad guy with a gun. Their general stood by and offered them his thoughts and prayers. #SecondCivilWarLetters

— ماكس تيساتورا (@maxtesatora) July 3, 2018 xMy dearest Ben,I came across a wounded red hat today along the road. He begged for me to help him. I must admit, he was in such a piteous state I couldn't help myself. I gave him my remaining thoughts and prayers. He died anyway.Love forever,A.J.#secondcivilwarletters

Bass (@AnjikoZ) July 4, 2018 xDearest: The Thunder Run of the 2nd MAGA Armored Division from Asscrack, Arkansas to Washington DC was supposed to strike awe and fear into the hearts of the anti-Trump Forces, but we quickly outraced our supply lines.#secondcivilwarletterspic.twitter.com/UodUo32ZWt

— Col. Morris Davis (@ColMorrisDavis) July 4, 2018 xMother:Commander Waters’ plan for a July 4th campaign was a stroke of genius. With so much of the enemy’s leadership away at a strategy retreat with General Putin, their army will be quite vulnerable. Victory is near.- Your loving son#SecondCivilWarLetters

— Cameron Steele (@Voyager19) July 3, 2018 xMy Dear Beloved, News has trickled down that the leader's bride wears a uniform stating her lack of concern. Whilst her fucks have become depleted, alas, ours do runneth over. We intend to gather them and rally before the winter.#secondcivilwarletters
— The Sardonic Peahen (@SardoNICKa) July 4, 2018 xDear Mom,Stellar day! We blew up the Erectile Disfunction Drug factory. Male MAGA morale at all-time low. (Female MAGA thanked us!) #secondcivilwarletters
— Susan Anderson-Newha (@Susereads) July 3, 2018 xMy dearest Joshua,At dawn we begin the Battle of the Supreme Court. Our insider, @ruthbadergins assures us a victory, as the redhats believe Roe vs Wade refers to how they’ll cross the Potomac. Send more Starbucks cards, love, me #secondcivilwarletters
— Lo Anna (@lo_anna_) July 3, 2018 xDearest Heidi,My entire regiment was glitterbombed outside Chick-fil-A. We retreated to the Hobby Lobby and are awaiting reinforcements from Russia. Pray for us, darling.Yours truly,Ted CruzP.S. If I should perish, don’t check my browser history.#SecondCivilWarLetters
— Feodor Chin 🇺🇸â„︠(@FeoChin) July 4, 2018 x#SecondCivilWarLettersMy Dearest,We have found refuge in an NFL stadium. Everytime the red hats advance we play the anthem and take a knee. They all promptly leave. These are truly stupid days,Yours Always.
— Calm Like A Bomb (@Citizen0112358) July 4, 2018 xDearest Neil, Buzz, and Sally - we are working tirelessly in the #SpaceForce. The enemy MAGA's are easy to defeat because they continue to deny science so we just marvel as they simply kill themselves off. Here is a picture of Saturn, enjoy. #secondcivilwar#secondcivilwarletterspic.twitter.com/j27N26O8S2
— Rogue NASA (@RogueNASA) July 4, 2018 xMy Darling Daughters,The war effort has been horrific, first the neo-Nazis lit themselves on fire trying to fight with their #TikiTorches then they lost a brigade when their Wall collapsed as they slept next to it. I couldn't be happier. Sgt. Nana #secondcivilwarletters
— Angela Marx (@AngieinWAState) July 4, 2018I missed this one earlier today and it’s perfect, in every way:
xDearest wife, Quick thinking saved my platoon today from the Red Hats as we erected a barrier out of Hillary’s e-mails, since they still can’t seem to get over them. War is Hell. #secondcivilwarletters
