Independence Days and National Festivals

Independence days occur in former colonies. Other countries have national festivals.

An independence day is usually the start or end of a revolution. “You say you want revolution?” Well then you never lived through one. They are messy, long, bloody affairs that hurt many innocents and rarely turn out well.

In the United States, peaceful voting is supposed to replace violent revolution. We must protect the right of ALL citizens to vote.

Register to Vote (vote.org)

You can also check your registration, request to vote by mail, and find your polling place at vote.org. Checking your registration is important because some states are throwing people off the voter rolls.
