The Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) is here to protect your interests, and to offer an alternative perspective on how to best solve the problems seniors face today. We need you. America needs you.
As a combat Marine veteran,I intend to celebrate by remembering the sacrifices of those who won and kept our freedom. Those who sacrificed their lives to gain and keep it. I will celebrate our Second Amendment that was given to us to protect us from the tyranny of our government.
We need so much prayer cover & more of God’s mercy than we deserve. New every morning is His love. May He protect us from the ignorance (or foolishness) of men who refuse to bow the knee in worship & thanksgiving. May God bless President Trump and his team. May we again become a Christian nation. May God bless and protect our nation and our posterity until Jesus comes again. Amen
Our family prays every day for the President, our leadership, and our country. This morning we’ll pray the leaders of Iran come to the senses and decide pursuit of a nuclear program is not permissible. Should Iran become a nuclear power they will attempt to establish a world-wide caliphate. That would be the death of western civilization and the world would revert to the 6th century. That is not an acceptable outcome. May God protect our President, give him wisdom, protect our brave troops and protect the state of Israel.
Can’t afford to attend, don’t like to travel, but will watch whatever I can and celebrate in my heart for living in a wonderful country.
AMAC should be running ads in swing states that say “every elected democratic voted ???? to raise your taxes. STOP voting for democrats”
Strange poll, even for AMAC.
We have a special needs child who we care for. So events are usually out of the picture. She is 31 now and wasn’t expected to live to 3 months. Praise the Lord and the special care from her mother.
Would love to attend several but am unable to. Will celebrate at home.
At 84 still recuperating from a fall and with increasing spinal issues, who only gets around using an upright rollator, it would be difficult/impossible for me to attend AMAC’s events.
I likely will celebrate by watching/sharing events on TV. My patriotism, pride in my country, and gratefulness to be an American-born citizen won’t be any less that way.
I just saw another email below which stated basically that AMAC should focus on running ads in swing states that say “every elected democrat voted to raise your taxes. STOP voting for democrats”; (thank you Clay…and everybody else who talked about prayer)! It occurs to me that perhaps AMAC funds could be put to better use than promoting anniversary events? I personally do pray for our country and that God would defeat the left. I think prayer is extremely important. And I think patriotism is important. But I think there are a lot of uninformed people out there who need to be educated about the dangers of the left.
PRAYER.
The first time I did not have choose a poll response.
God is the center, like the sun, all the poll answers float around Him.
May He bless us all!
Would love to celebrate with other patriots on AMAC’s Alaskan cruise! How amazing that would be. I will participate in the ongoing prayer. There is a heaviness in our nation and I pray for all the division, hatred and disrespect of our leaders to be gone, in Jesus’ name!
I was in 8th grade when the USA celebrated its bicentennial, I was much more patriotic back then! I have always been a conservative and even convinced by democrat voting parents to vote republican in my early 20’s. As I went through life I would listen intently to conservative talk radio, watched FOX news and listened to the conservative voices. As I have grown older, I have become more cynical about how government works to defeat hard-working middle-class Americans. Both sides of the aisle have done things that have really ticked me off.
I feel most of those in Congress put on a show for the hard-working Americans so they can get re-elected and pad their own bank accounts. If any of them really wanted to change this country for the better and what our founding fathers envisioned 250 years ago, the first thing they would do is pass term limits for every single elected office from the federal government right down to the small village trustees and school boards. Those who serve their entire lives on some of these government, elected seats, are the proof in the pudding that the power offered to them by their elected office ENRICHES them! They are in it for the power and greed they so desire. Shame on all of them! There should be NO PENSION OR SPECIAL BENEFITS afforded to those who claim to do their part by serving in an elected position! They are not sacrificing anything, they are enriching themselves, plain and simple.
Serving this country in an elected office, should be just that, sacrifice for a term or two and next patriot up to take your place. Go back to your “REAL JOB” and continue to participate in the democratic republic, our constitution meant it to be. We should maybe think about outlawing a political science major at our universities as this is such a bad idea!
All things considered, the USA is not a perfect country, and it never will be. There are many who envision what our founding fathers sought to create, but greed has been attempting to erode at that vision for the last 250 years. I pray for this country and its leaders, no matter who sits in the Oval Office, or what party has control of the House and the Senate. We are still all Americans, last time I checked, just wish we would start acting like we are all for the same country, unfortunately we have lost our way in that regard.
Living in Colorado I don’t think there is much celebrating going on here since the democrats have seceded from the union and created their own country. We are the state of weed and prostitution. No patriotism here. I will pray for the union to be saved from the communists who want to destroy her. If we only could get all patriots together on the 4th of July in Colorado to pray for our State and the Union toelast another 250 years. America was born through struggle and strife don’t let her go under by those who are being bought by the billionaires in the world to destroy her.
The importance of prayer can never be underestimated, but equally significant is the reality that prayer without personal repentance to do what is right, as God wills, is the catalyst for answered prayer.
I wish I could, but I’ll be participating in other national events. God Bless all of you, and God Bless America!
I will spend my time end resources preparing for the balkanization to come. I pray that it is peaceful, however, I know with certainty that balkanization will happen in the 2030-32 timeline. As in Marriage you cannot safely stay bound to one party that is completely and totally psychopathically insane and cannot be cured.
It would be different if the insane party had command of their faculties and some level of reasoning. They do not even have the most basic sense of reasoning. It is best if we take the fable from 1933 Russian novel The German Quarter by Lev Nitoburg to heart about the Scorpion and the Frog seriously.
You cannot trust the word of any the party that is so completely and psychopathically insane, for at least 5-generations, to have any control over you. They will destroy both you and them. As Reagan put it “Trust but Verify” here as Reagan said. There is zero trust to verify with these lunatics.
The only thing that is certain is that they will destroy all that is good, if we let them. I wouldn’t turn my back on the other party any more than I would on a hungry Grizzly. It’s GTFO time and leave them in their own insane asylum, quarantined, forever, until the mental degenerates pass on and in the meantime we stop them from injecting the poison and cancerous beliefs into sane society and our children!
You, for the sake of your family, must institutionalize them (aka Balkanize) and Isolate them from all that is good and wholesome. Allow them to remain under your roof and they will destroy your home and all those who live there. Balkanization is the only sane choice for anyone who any reasoning ability in their head!!
Knocking out that evil regime in Iran would also be a nice birthday present for America and the world.
47 years of appeasement after they took us hostage is far too long.
Let’s get nation wide voter ID. Also get President Trump’s peach in the hands of all students of all ages to take home for their families to read.
It took 47 years.
I guess this is the meaning of the phrase “better late than never”.
Thank you President Trump
I remember watching all the old military ships parading in New York Harbor for our Bicentennial in 1976.
It was so cool.
Would love to see something similar for our 250th.
USA hockey team got us off to a great start. True patriots!
There is no doubt in my mind that Prayer and thanksgiving to God above should be at the forefront of our nation’s 250 year celebration. May God Bless The United States Of America. Amen.
I plan to be in D.C. for the 4th and Propose to my best girl during the fireworks at the Mall. It’s going to be HUGE! “for me”
Praying for our troops in Iran and all over the world. God Bless America and the world. While President Trump is very aggressive in protecting us from nuclear bombs from other counties, I wished he was more aggressive in our country with the fraud in Minnesota, deportation of all immigrants and with the Jewish community taking over Lakewood New Jersey and surrounding cities, abusing our welfare system and allowing them to do whatever they want with our proper permits etc.
Thank you President Trump and Israel.
I’ve been waiting for this day since 1979, when Iranian terrorists took our embassy and paraded American hostages. Carter was useless.
I absolutely loved president Reagan.
But I only wished he had attacked and destroyed Iranian regime the minute our hostages were safely home.
So much terrorism (proxy and direct) of the last 45 years would have been avoided.
Evil needs to be stopped immediately. Not in a drip, drip, drip method, taking decades.
I live 20 miles west and slightly north of Sacramento and about 8 miles north of the “People’s Republic of Davis”. So any events within driving distance for me would be something organized for my town by Davisite Liberals and would not have a supportive Pro-American flavor on any level, any patriotic level. They even come to my town to create demonstrations, using their own people, not our hometowners. Even if there should be an event in Sacramento, it would not be safe for an 81-year-old lady, as violence seems to be on their agenda every time.
I love America.
Thank God Trump and Israel are finally taking out the evil Iranian regime that has brought so much devastation and terrorism in the world.
F all the Democrat politicians that defend Iranian terrorists and are pro anti-American.
Do they know what happened in 1979 in Iran? And how many terrorist attacks worldwide from that shi*hole regime happened to this day.
I may attend a local event or watch a celebration on TV but, in all honesty, I don’t get out much anymore. That said, I am fortunate to live in the greatest country to ever exist on planet earth.
Probably not attend anything formal, but will have our flag out!
Will be always thinking about those who sacrificed their health and lives for freedom!
Many people would like to participate in events but as usual they are on the east coast & not all elderly are blessed with excess wealth or perfect health that allows them to travel as much as they would like to. Just once I’d like to see a national event centrally located!
I hope I am n heaven by that time. I can watch all the celebrations from there and have a much better view.
I need to know what is going on in my area of Tennessee! The house will be very patriotic if nothing else! I’m sure there will be more neighborhood fireworks than usual. Here you can light them off in the neighborhood. We moved here 10 years ago from Illinois. The neighborhood fireworks took a bit to get used to! Worried the house would burn down. I love fireworks but I’m also too scared or respectful to ever get near enough to light them off. But Baileys on the patio and they’re fun to watch go off all around us.
Second
I’ll figure something out but I will be vigilant and exercise my 2ndA rights to keep safe! Too many of them are out to ruin it for everyone else!
Could this be the beginning of the end of terrorist Iran regime?!!!!
Iran regime can kiss our beautiful American ass as they meet the devil in hell.
Bring back the Shah’s son as leader and westernize it once again.
I will attend a local celebration. Im retired so i can’t afford to do anything big.
If I can get some of that commie dem welfare, I might be able to afford.
Oh, thats only for illegals
Not a Lotta amsc stuff out here in Northampton County NC, byt we WILL be attending fireworks on the 4th to celebrate 250 of freedom
I would love to go on the cruise but at 91 I don’t travel anymore but my prayers are always with you.
Prayer is the MOST Important to SEEK GO’DS TRUTH and Ask for His Blessing on America Through Repentance and Obedience to His Word. Also The BOOT CAMP is Important, Most American’s Even Adults Do Not KNOW the HISTORY of America or What We are FREE FROM or the COST of FREEDOM. We NEED BASIC Articles on AMERICAN TRUTH. Would Be Great if AMAC Would put out a DAILY Page a Day for the Year on FACTS About American History, The Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Ditto on Retta Manns comment 3 days ago. Praying is the very best we can do for our nation. We are in need than can be said here. I can’t commit to almost anything because of health issues. So, take what each day & the Lord gives me and keep walking. All the activities sound wonderful. Yes, and a big thanks to all our veterans and those who are serving now. May the good Lord bless & keep you each day. And may He be able to bless America again.
I am planning on seeing the Union Pacific BigBoy Steam engine in Wyoming as it travels across the USA this year. Not sure of anything else yet.
i lived in philly when the bicentennial was ruined by the legionnaires i not big on public gatherings unless I’m working them even as volunteer
The 250th anniversary of the USA that I want to see is: THE 3 STOOGES FROM KENTUCKY (MASSEY, PAUL & MCCONNELL) LEAVE THE SENATE. They have done nothing for the country, they are not Republicans( they are obstructionist) overstepping their authority fighting President Trump on ever policy. Three of them are tartors.
KENTUCKY WAKE UP: FIND REAL REPUBLICANS TO TAKE THEIR SEAT IN THE SENATE!
MORRIS IS A PERFECT REPUBLICAN TO REPLACE MCCONNELL.
FIND TWO MORE CANDIDATES TO REPLACE PAUL & MASSEY TO SAVE THIS COUNTRY.
GET OUT AND VOTE REPUBLICAN.
I will definitely be staying far away from large crowds now.
I don’t like your wording: “I do not plan to participate in any AMAC 250 events.”
The problem is that “I do plan,” not “I do not plan…”
I plan to participate in none of the AMAC 250 events.
F Iran..
May they go to hell.
I wanted to NUKE them since 1979 when they took American hostages.
Peace through strength.
Bingo!
The devil regime of Iran is over
Jimmy Carter did the nice thing by taking the Shah into medical care.
That was the beginning of Iran, devil regime.
But every president until Donald J. Trump didn’t do a damn thing.
We are finally getting payback for Iran terrorists taking our embassy and parading hostages.
To HELL with ALL Iran terrorists last 47 years.
May they burn in hell
I think this year will be different than the others—it will be presided over by Commander-in-Chief Trump. It will honor the soldiers and others who fought together to bring America back from the brink of loss to the manifold practitioners of evil; it will celebrate the restoral of the REPUBLIC under Common Law and the U. S. Constitution. Many other big things have changed also. That, my friends, will be the gravamen of our Independence celebration to a Restored Republic. . .it may occur on a day other than the 4th of July. It is an occasion for great celebration as you will learn in the days just ahead.
~~ 28 February 2026
I didn’t vote for any of these. I thought I’d see something in today’s poll about the SOTU address, as it is current. The 250 celebration is 4 months away. But anyway, I plan on celebrating at home with family & many prayers. God bless everyone.
