On Independence Day, I'm Grateful

Today as we celebrate the anniversary of the birth of our great nation we remember the sacrifice of those who fought for freedom in 1776, and those who have fought to preserve that freedom ever since.

There are approximately 150,000 brave American men and women serving in Iraq, more than 24,000 in Afghanistan, and tens of thousands more serving around the world. Each of us owes all of them a tremendous debt of gratitude.

More than 3,987 American troops have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. They died serving their country, and they are heroes. My wife Barbara and I send our thoughts and our prayers to the families and loved ones of those who have fallen, and we ask all of you to remember and honor them, and never forget what they have sacrificed on behalf of this nation.

This is a day not for partisan politics, but for grateful remembrance and joyous celebration. A day of optimism and hope. A day to remember that we live in the greatest nation on earth, where our best days are still ahead of us. A day to celebrate our freedom, but also to remember that freedom comes at a cost.

God bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.

Thank you for your wonderful thoughts on this joyous day. Our thoughts are with the troops around the world and our veterans that they may know how much we appreciate everything they do for us and our country. Happy 4th of July Gov. Bill.

Umm, I'm not gonna lie, I am actually for Hillary Clinton but, I promise Richardson, you are the 2nd best, and I think you can win the nomination if you could get up in Iowa and New Hampshire and I think you can win a lot of South States, I know it takes money and Id give it to you if I was of age.
  
Governor Bill Richardson's Message.

YA''AT'EEh!

GOVERNOR BILL RICHARDSON,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS BECAUSE YOU SPEAK TRUTHS FROM THE TREASURES WITHIN YOUR HEART.

DOO LA' DOODAGO. IT IS SAD THAT THE DOVE WHICH PARADES AROUND IN THE PLUMMAGE OF THE HAWK, HAS MANAGED TO HI-JACK AMERICA BY REVELLING IN THEIR TRIUMPH OF MAKING MOCKERY OF THE RULE OF LAW.
WE HAVE FAITH THAT THE GREAT SPIRIT WILL MAKE IT COME TO PASS, THAT YOU SHALL BE THE CHOSEN ONE AT THE DNC, THAT YOU WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT WHOM WILL REPRESENT US ALL AS EQUALS IN OUR GREAT NATION.
I AM SURE THAT EVERYONE HERE THANKS YOU AS I FOR YOUR WORDS OF SUPPORT FOR OUR TROOPS AND TO REMEMBER THOSE WHOM HAVE FALLEN IN BATTLE. EVERYONE OF US THAT HAVE SERVED IN BATTLE AS I THANK YOU SIR. WE SHALL NEVER FORGET THAT THE HEROES ARE THOSE THAT GAVE THEIR LIFE FOR ALL OF US. NIZHO'NI'GO NANINA', AS YOU HAVE ALWAYS DONE, BECAUSE YOU ARE AS ALL NATIVE AMERICANS SEE YOU FOR WHOM YOU ARE, FIRST AND ABOVE ALL, AND I MAKE A POINT OF SAYING ALWAYS,
GOV. BILL EI' YA""AT"EEH.

A GOOD HONEST AND INTEGRAL MAN IS WHAT AMERICA NEEDS AT THE HELM.

NOT A PROFFESSIONAL POLITICIAN. YOU GOVERNOR ARE AUTHENTIC, NOT A POMPOUS PROFFESSIONAL POLITICIAN AS THE LIKES OF THE NEOCONS THAT HAVE DECLARED THEMSELVES ABOVE THE RULE OF THE LAW.
AND HI-JACKED DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA,
THEY ARE DISGRACING AMERICA BEFORE THE EYES OF THE WORLD. AND FULLY SUPPORTING A PRIVATIZED WAR AT THE COST OF AMERICAN PATRIOTS LIVES FOR OIL.

WE PRAY THE GREAT SPIRIT ALLWAYS BE WITH YOU BECAUSE AS I SAID BEFORE, YOU ARE OUR CHOSEN ONE.

YOUR FRIEND AND SUPPORTER;
ONE AMONG THE MANY MANY NATIVE AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS. FROM AMONG ALL NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES AND CLANS ALL OVER AMERICA.

DINE' WARRIOR FOR BILL RICHARDSON
DINE' NISHLI NAAKAII. OF THE MEXICAN CLAN
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY.
NIZHO'NI'GO'NANINA'
HA'GOO'NEE'!
