What are the Educational, Health, or Economic Benefits to these Players and their Families for that kids uncompensated participation in any additional “NON-SCHOLARSHIP” private third-party postseason football games that pay the Universities and the Conferences for the use of their free labor to put on these highly profitable Bowl events. The answer is ZERO! These additional 1-5 POSTSEASON games are also above the Players’ 12 game athletic scholarship agreement? Our Proposal offers Major Benefits in all three Categories to the Players and their Families! Scholarship Football Players are owed Hundreds of Millions of dollars from this year’s Media contract that uses these Players’ Name, Image, and Likeness NIL without any equitable financial consideration to the Players or their Families! This lost Money could have a major impact on these Players lives, the lives of their current and future family members for generations? We do not support, or agree with the House vs NCAA Settlement or the current covert attempts to extend and expand this Antitrust exploitation of our young (mostly minority) FB & BB Players' labor that the US Supreme Court and Federal District Court have recently struck down as illegal and implausible.

While Abraham Lincoln believed slavery was morally wrong, he didn't initially want to free the enslaved people because he thought his constitutional authority as president only allowed him to challenge slavery in the context of war measures. He also worried about the reactions of border states where slavery was still legal, and he didn't want to risk losing their loyalty. Lincoln said, "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it". However, Lincoln's views on slavery evolved. He believed that the founding fathers intended for slavery to end but didn't think they could do so overnight. He also believed that ending slavery, along with adding Black troops to the Union, could hurt the South's economy and war effort. On September 22, 1862, Lincoln issued the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, which marked a shift in his position. After the war, he believed that the 13th Amendment was necessary to change the Constitution and abolish slavery.. You can use this website link to see the TV show.

THE AMERICAN’S CREED “ I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.” –Written by William Tyler Page in 1917, accepted by the United States House of Representatives on April 3, 1918. So well said. I wish it could be recited each day by all elected officials, schoolchildren, and members of the military.🇺🇸 It is quoted in several of my resources, including my book, online course, and posters. Share it in the workplace and with family and friends. Let this be a starting point to great conversations about the history of our nation. 💡 May God heal and bless America. 🙏🇺🇸🙏 #prosperity101 #westandforfreedom #godblessamerica #godblesstheusa #freedom #liberty #employer #employers #constitution #workplace #politicsaffectsbusiness #politicsaffectsourdailylives US Christian Chamber of Commerce Red Balloon Marty Lotito

patriot /pa-trē-ət/noun - a person who loves and supports his or her country - a person who defends their country and its interests with devotion - a person who values individual rights, especially one who attempts to defend those rights against presumed interference by the federal government What does it mean to be a patriot?

Juneteenth, observed on June 19th, is a monumental date for African American communities in the United States, marking the end of slavery back in 1865. Despite being announced in 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation took more than two years to take place, and slavery was not officially abolished in all Confederate states until June 19, 1865.

Personal Injury Lawyers in St. Louis dedicated to helping injured families fight insurance companies and rule breaking defendants in Missouri & Illinois and get full compensation for their injuries..
There has been a pattern of delayed justice when it comes to slavery and racism in the US. Juneteenth marks the day that the slaves in Texas finally became free — a whole 2 and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. And it just became a federal holiday in 2021. We can't even begin to untangle the complex trauma and damage that the fingerprints of slavery have imprinted on our country, still plainly visible today. But we can honor the sacrifices of those who helped end slavery, celebrate the progress that has been made, interrogate the innate privilege so many of us know all our lives, and make an effort to heal wounds. Celebrate Juneteenth. Celebrate freedom. Celebrate progress. And never stop demanding positive change and real equity.

The 4th of July, or Independence Day, celebrates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. This document, primarily authored by Thomas Jefferson, declared the thirteen American colonies free from British rule. Growing discontent with British policies, such as taxation without representation, led the Continental Congress to convene and address these grievances. On July 2, 1776, the Congress voted for independence, and on July 4, they formally adopted the Declaration, outlining philosophical justifications for independence and listing grievances against King George III. Independence Day symbolizes liberty and the founding principles of the United States. It is marked by patriotic displays, including fireworks, parades, concerts, and family gatherings, celebrating the nation's history and values. #IndependenceDay #4thOfJuly #Freedom #AmericanHistory #Patriotism #Liberty #FoundingFathers #CelebrateFreedom #USA #AmericanIndependence #Commutec
