For me, this is not about immigration, pedophiles, Greenland or Venezuela; it is about upholding the Constitution.

When U.S. citizens are detained and shot, you lose me. I am a 52-year-old white Christian woman with two blue-eyed children from generations of U.S. citizens who fought in the American Revolutionary War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II and the Vietnam War, with family currently serving in the Marines and Navy.

I have no Black, brown, purple, blue or Jewish blood running through my veins. I am snow-white through and through. And I certainly don’t need the money to be a “paid agitator.”

The Constitution will only survive through each individual American’s actions. I will be out on the street protecting the Constitution — not for Democrats, not for Republicans, but for Americans. When asked what our family did to protect the Constitution from this nation’s founding to today, we can proudly say, “We fought like hell!”
