Stand Douglas Garard

1. Standing is what we do everyday. It seems so simple doesn't it? in everyday, in every way, But it sure wasn't when your born.

2. What would we do when we stand? We learn, we live, we laugh. But best of all we stand for what we believe is right.

3. In Tienamen square, Japan. The tanks of a powerful government, roles through it as a sign of athority But they stopped. Why? because someone stood up.

4. That person had the courage to stand in front of a powerful government. He wanted them to stop the rage of world war 2. He stood in front of the tanks path. And they stopped.

5. Other places don't believe in this method. They are to afraid by their government But in reality, the government should be afraid of their people.

6. Their are thousand upon thousands of people in one country. And you know ho many governments their are? One! The people have a huge advantage against their government. Yet they do not yet realize it.

7. you now what most people would do if they were angry with their government? They would wait until some one stops it. it doesn't take just one person to stop it. But one can stand. And when that person stands, people will stand with him. until the government will have no choice but to surrender

8. When you think about it. The government can't exist without its people. And if everyone in that country were to stand up. They can't get rid of any of them. Because if they do. They would no longer exist

9. Its the peoples choice. They could either stand up for what they think is right, Or bow to their rulers and be happy with the decades of suffering. We need to stand. And if your legs get tired, I'll be their to stand for you.
