US Embassy Berlin on July 4th
In Berlin, CDA Meltzer on the U.S. Embassy in Berlin reminded visitors that on Independence Day, we have fun the beliefs on which America was based, together with life, liberty, equality, and the pursuit of happiness. A duplicate of the U.S. Declaration of Independence hangs within the U.S. Embassy’s rotunda. Meltzer discovered it exceptional what number of guests cease to learn the phrases that launched the good experiment of American democracy, phrases that proceed to encourage us.
Tourism between Europe and the USA is unbalanced
Tourism between Europe and America has all the time been a possibility for Europeans to witness the good American experiment of democracy and freedom. It has been a possibility for Individuals to discover what many name the “outdated world.”
This yr, the steadiness of tourists is out of steadiness. Individuals journey to Europe in document numbers, whereas Europeans journey to the U.S. is down in two-digit numbers.
I immigrated to the U.S. from my dwelling nation, Germany, within the early Nineteen Eighties, impressed by what I learn within the U.S. Declaration of Independence, what I witnessed in a land that was open, free, and supplied limitless alternatives. A land with essentially the most gorgeous surroundings—essentially the most spectacular cities and villages, blended with individuals who welcome you with open arms.
Again in Berlin at present, I’m wondering what occurred to this lovely nation, I proudly referred to as dwelling for 46 quick years.
Two Americas
There is no such thing as a longer one America for all; there are two Americas: Democrats and Republicans.
ICE and Immigration
Currnently some in America are fearing for his or her lives with masked ICE brokers not solely chasing rapists and killers, however are kidnapping immigrants and their households, everlasting residents, guests, and even U.S. residents at random in our cities, on parking heaps, or in court docket homes. Many disappear within the dungeons of ICE detention facilities, their due course of taken away, and a few in international torture prisons, only for desirous to be a part of the American Dream.
At present, those that wish to go on the streets and voice their opinion are scared to take action, and a few who rise up for human rights could also be labeled enemies of the state.
Talking out
Media reporting about that is referred to as faux media and is threatened within the nation that was recognized for having impartial media as a mechanism between steadiness and energy.
Getting sick
Getting sick in America for a lot of could imply changing into homeless or simply taking a ache killer and hoping for the perfect, since going to a physician, staying in a hospital, is a luxurious many can’t afford. If you happen to can afford insurance coverage, it could actually dictate who and how one can get handled. Pressing care places of work with unqualified nurse practitioners have changed private medical doctors, eliminating preventive care in healthcare.
What occurred to the America the place the idea of “the pursuit of happiness for all” is a elementary superb, significantly within the context of particular person liberty and societal well-being? It means that everybody ought to have the chance to pursue actions and experiences that result in their achievement and happiness, with out undue interference.
The Queer
Why is that this restricted to some, however not to all, such because the homeless, transgender and queer individuals, drug customers that need assistance, homeless individuals, drug customers, alcoholics, the record of this unequal America is changing into longer and longer.
Working two jobs
Why accomplish that many must work two jobs, have a most of two weeks of trip, and hardly any sick days? They typically stick with roommates and barely make sufficient to get to the following month.
Financial cooperation vs. tariffs, threatening our neighbors equivalent to Canada, Panama, or Greenland, turns into embarrassing for many who are with all their hearts proud Individuals with roots again to different nations.
How can we make America Nice Once more?
How can we make our nation nice once more, and be reminded that the Gettysburg Handle, delivered by Abraham Lincoln, redefined our nation’s function. It emphasised the equality of all individuals and the significance of preserving the Union. Probably the most well-known line, “authorities of the individuals, by the individuals, for the individuals,” encapsulates the core message of democracy and self-governance.
Immigrants who come to america searching for a greater life typically say they’re looking for the American dream. However many individuals within the U.S. — immigrants and natural-born residents alike — now appear to really feel that dream is nearer to a fantasy. And based mostly on present life-style metrics, they aren’t essentially improper, because the American dream continues to shift.
We the Folks
I hope we, the individuals, can return to this, to make our nation Nice and welcoming once more, so we are able to stay not solely a striving journey and tourism vacation spot, but additionally a welcoming nation for future Individuals, and provides them an opportunity to dwell the American dream nonetheless.
Most Individuals are typically pleasant, smiling, welcoming, and sincere individuals. We’ll all the time have the Grand Canyon, Waikiki Seashore, Instances Sq., Midwestern Steaks, Hollywood, and Las Vegas, in addition to our important Nationwide Parks, the Rockies, and fireworks on July 4th.
Making America Nice can begin with Tourism
Pleased 4th of July, America! Pleased Independence Day. Let’s make America nice once more, collectively.
Say, are you able to see
By the daybreak’s early gentle
What so proudly we hailed
On the twilight’s final gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and vivid stars
By the perilous struggle
O’er the ramparts we watched
Have been so gallantly, yeah, streaming?
And the rockets’ pink glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof via the night time
That our flag was nonetheless there
O say, does that star-spangled banner but wave
O’er the land of the free and the house of the courageous
