My Oath

My Oath

Seven years ago, I took the oath to become an American. I came from a place where the voting system continues to be manipulated by those in power.

The oath came with the responsibility to support the Constitution and VOTE at every election.

These were the words of the oath and I say this, again and again, every year.

"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."

My Fellow Americans, under the United States of America, we may be different in our politics, but let us continue to support the Constitution and vote at every election.

Let us fight to keep this country together despite disagreements and elect the candidates to take every office. We pay them to do their jobs; we will not allow them to dictate nor manipulate us.
