I AM AN AMERICAN.

Through tools provided by design, our current and future identity can take its place. Our cultural identity is there, it just needs to be edited, sorted through, and molded into the clear definition that American people need. I want nothing more than to be able to declare “I am an American”, and be completely confident, knowledgeable, and proud in doing so.

We the people…used to know exactly who we were. We didn’t question our rights, beliefs, or our identity. We weren’t embarrassed, or ashamed to say “I am an American”, and we certainly did not let other countries define our identity for us. We were a “Take It Or Leave It” group of united individuals, and proud to be that way.

It is time to focus on where America as a united people is right now and where it is going. That is not to say that the past should be forgotten. However, the past should not be the sole foundation any longer. Too much has changed since our country’s forefathers wrote “The Declaration of Independence” and “The Constitution”.
