We lift up our hearts, O God, on this day of celebration in gratitude for the gift of being Americans. We rejoice with all those who share in the great dream of freedom and dignity for all. With flags and feasting, with family and friends, we salute those who have sacrificed that we might have the opportunity to bring to fulfillment our many God-given gifts. As we deny all prejudice a place in our hearts, may we also clearly declare our intention to work for the time when all people, regardless of race, religion or sex, will be granted equal dignity and worth. Come, O gracious God, who led your children Israel from slavery, keep us free from all that might hold us in bondage. Bless our country and join our simple celebration that we may praise you, our Source of freedom, the One in whom we place our trust.
For 30 years, Jan Haagensen has been harassed and her farm in PA invaded with impunity by hunters, and her NO HUNTING signs and fences repeatedly torn down. 10 years ago, she had had enough, and approached the trespassing hunters to ask them to leave, and asked a hunter engaged in illegal hunting to cease and desist. When a hunter threatened to shoot her and her mother, she called police, which sided chummily with the hunters, and later charged her with 5 counts of "hunter harassment". The "kangaroo court" convicted her on all 5 counts. Being an attorney, she appealed to the appellate court and won, and is now challenging the PA Hunter Harassment Statute in federal court as being unconstitutional for inhibiting free speech and violating property rights. If she wins, doors will be open for challenging the equally unconstitutional Hunter Harassment laws of other states.

Hands reach out tentatively to touch the wonder of your face, your skin translucent like spun glass, only more beautiful. I could stare into your crystalline eyes for centuries, bask in the afterglow of your smile until I am dust.
I worry you are oblivious to my feelings – or worse – uncaring. You seem unaware of the cyclone of emotions roiling beneath my surface or perhaps too concerned with your own inner storms, your own demons.
I see a darkness in your eyes sometimes when you think I am not looking. There is a quality of restlessness about you that makes me want to reach out to you, try and comfort you.
Is it possible to be both frightened and fascinated by you? I sense a storm in your soul, the lightning flash of which I sometimes catch reflected in your eyes. I see a question on your lips which I long to answer.
But I know that you and I can never be. This burgeoning flower of feeling must and will be stopped before it can open, petal by petal, and reveal that which I’ve tried so hard to conceal.
