Freedom 250 is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to uniting Americans around the nation’s 250th anniversary. 🇺🇸🦅
The Great American State Fair is one of Freedom 250’s signature celebrations, bringing together all 50 states and 6 territories in the Nation’s capital for the first time to celebrate 250 years of our history.
This once-in-a-generation event will showcase what makes America exceptional — farmers, innovators, educators, small business owners, law enforcement officers, our strong military, and the American people who make up the fabric of this great country. From blue ribbon events and military flyovers to movie nights, the Great American State Fair will be a safe, secure, and enjoyable event for all ages — welcoming all who share our goal of commemorating this milestone in a way that uplifts and unites America.
Here's what bothers me about all the artists pulling out of The Great American State Fair. Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, Milli Vanilli (who knew they were still around) and others claim that they can't play this event because it's too divisive and has caused security concerns.
PLEASE, HELP ME UNDERSTAND. I can't see the people who want to attend a Freedom 250 event causing security threats. Are these threats instead coming from the people who are AGAINST this celebration?
And what part of Freedom 250 is divisive? Please, be specific. I love Martina McBride. What changed that made this event no longer "non-partisan?" I'd like to know because NONE of this should be about politics.
I remember the Bicentennial. Everyone got together, Republicans and Democrats, to celebrate the 200th birthday of our nation. I remember people HATED President Ford and Nixon at the time. But they still showed up to celebrate. They didn’t boycott due to the person in the Oval Office. The celebration was bigger than the president.
Freedom 250 should be exactly the same. No politics. No partisanship. If that's really what it's turning into, I'd like to know exactly how. Until then, it just looks like partisanship and fear of retaliation from their own side when performers drop out.
@Rightanglenews As a resident of NC it amazes me! The actual true residents of NC are America First and can’t stand any of the BS! Two elections we have voted Trump for President and somehow end up with a Blue Governor! #stolenelections
