DON’T EMBARRASS OUR GREAT
NATION!

Yesterday was
INDEPENDENCE DAY
and most of us were celebrating the birth of our great
nation – showing national pride. The symbols of our great Nation
are our Star-Spangled Banner, also known as “Ol’ Glory”,
and our National Anthem. Many people died
defending our Freedom and Liberty – and the symbols of our great
Nation.
I feel strongly
about this issue – and I am deeply offended when I see people
trampling these symbols with their feet.
I was disgusted when
I saw Kaepernick playing political mischief with our flag and
the National Anthem. But that was only inside our country.
It’s even worse if
it’s done in front of the whole world. You may know that in the
moment the National Women’s Soccer teams are playing in France
for the World Cup. But one player of our national team is
playing politics with our flag and our National Anthem.
One player, named
Megan Rapinoe, dishonored our flag and our National Anthem
in front of the whole world, embarrassing our great Nation. Last
Friday the US team won against France, a pretty big achievement,
but the European newspapers didn’t use this victory as the
headlines, they used the behavior of Rapinoe during the playing
of our National Anthem to create nasty headlines, embarrassing
the United States of America.
Even if she would be
the greatest female soccer player in the world, she should have
no place in a team that is representing our Nation with the
whole world watching. In my opinion she is a disgrace for our
Nation. Sports and politics shouldn’t mix. We have seen what it
did to the NFL!
Oh, by the way: On
Tuesday the US team won the Semi-Final match against England –
without Rapinoe. And it was nice to see that all 11 players
honored the Star-Spangled Banner and our National Anthem. That
showed that our team can win even without a player dishonoring
our nation.
We are a free
country and open borders work in both directions: If people like
Rapinoe don’t like it here, the borders, especially in the
South, are wide open: She can leave at any time!
And if you are still
a PROUD AMERICAN don’t buy any more NIKE
products! (See:

Florida
's largest state-wide property owners' advocacy group.
CCFJ works on legislation to help owners living in

associations. He moved to
Florida
in 1995 - hoping to retire. He moved into a HOA, where the
developer cheated the homeowners and used the association dues
for his own purposes. End of retirement!
CCFJ was born in the year 2000, when some owners met in
Tallahassee
- finding out that power is only in numbers. Bergemann was a
member of Governor Jeb Bush's HOA Task force in 2003/2004.
The organization has two websites to inform interested
Florida
homeowners and condo owners:
News Website: http://www.ccfj.net/.
Educational Website: http://www.ccfjfoundation.net/.
We think that only owners can really represent owners, since all
service providers surely have a different interest! We are
trying to create owner-friendly laws, but the best laws are
useless without enforcement. And enforcement is totally lacking
in
Florida
