Both of my grandmothers are Irish descendants. My grandmother on my father's side was first generation. Her father fought for Irish independence and fled on the heels of the british. My mother's mother, from all I have gleaned, (long story) was also first generation. This is dedicated to my grandmothers.

THOSE NOT NATIVE BORN ARE IMMIGRANTS
The U.S. is a nation of immigrants. Both of my grandfathers came to the U.S. from Canada. My father's father was second generation Canadian after his grandfather came from Ireland to Quebec. i still have family in Quebec. The last song posted here is "Ma Liberte" and sung by a famous Quebecois folk singer. With that song I honor my father's father and that side of the family on their journey to the US from Ireland through Quebec.
My mother's father's family came to the U.S. on an unknow route from Ireland to Nova Scotia. However, we also know now that my grandfather's roots included roots to Nigeria, Africa. This song is saluted to my Nigerian roots. Of which I am equally proud.
The New Preamble to the U.S. Constitution
"We the billionaires, and our King, in order to deform and sicken our Union, establish injustice, ensure domestic servility, weaken our peoples defenses, undermine our general welfare, and reserve to ourselves and our posterity staggering debt servitude for eternity, do herby instruct the Republicans in Congress to strip 17 million people of their healthcare, increase copays, premiums and deductibles for everyone else, cut 42 million people off of nutritional assistance, increase the national debt by 4 trillion dollars, trash renewable energy systems, increase our electric bills for the carbon kings, all to weaken and destroy the Constitution of the people of these United States of America."
h/o to congressman Raskin.
Happy 4th of July.
