Too many of our older Cem's land is being sold and destroyed when the
property was paid for forever to be the lasting resting place of the person
buried there. It is right out theft and greed that is at the root of
destroyed Cemeteries.
There is much land for other developement without " digging up bones
litteraly",
Those that do this should have their bones dug up and thown to the wind when
they are gone.
Why even bury them if that is what is ultimatly what will happen to
them????
Why all the expense of a funeral, gave site, casket etc. if some greedy
town, hy project, bldg desired place, etc will just destroy it
anyway????
Wake up America, we are saving historical bldg's , places, books and the
list goes on and on. so why not our families final resting places that were
paid for for the everlasting resting place of our remains..
If space is rampantly wanted, stop the immigration, cut the needed home
sites, bldg sites, etc. We are slowley allowing America to be a haven
for others from ravaged countries population seeking peace and tranquility
of the freedoms that we HAVE ENJOYED that are NOW slowley being taken
away from us. to accomodate the unrightous . and other undesireable for
Freedom American beliefs and living.
Our Ancestors fought, died, suffered for a FREEDOM place for us and
these others that don't beleive in other's rights and freedoms as this
country was founded on ,are forcing their status on all of us.. They
have had the right to not participate in our traditions in freedom of
religion, etc. Holidays etc.
Taking and not letting our Country's and world wide Holiday Traditions
and Freedom of religeon to be recognised in America are getting out of
hand.
They are forcing on us their unrightous beliefs and us to adhere to their
kind of living in Religion, life and thinking, when this, if supose to be
the LAND made for FREEDOM to live and do all that is good, right, and safe,
is allowed to be destroyed , and is to continue, we will be destroyed with
it.
WAKE UP AMERICA and POLITITIONS .
Protect and save our FREEDOMS NOW.
All my own Ancestors were those that fought for our FREDOM AMERICA as they
ALL came here in early 1700's.
Millions came here to escape persecution of Religeon, etc, for a Better
Life and for Freedom and Liberty as America was founded on.
SAVE OUR FREEDOMS NOW BEFORE IT IS ALL TAKEN FROM US >
SAVE OUR CEMETERIES>
Make them NOT resaleable property for any other use forever.
WAKE UP AMERICA and SMELL THE ROSES>
from ,
A Making of Freedom America's Ancestors, descending descendant.
Are you with me??? Please pass this on to all you know.
