The Following Message is a Sponsored Message from Friends of Trump

Friend,

Did you know the Star Spangled Banner was written by a political prisoner?

Francis Scott Key was under guard by the British (he knew too much) when the victory of the American patriots at the Battle of Baltimore inspired him to write the lyrics.

There is a reason that we January 6th hostages sang it while locked in the D.C. gulag.

You see, I was one of the patriots arrested for being at the Capitol on January 6th. What we suffered through is an experience I will never forget. 

It’s what inspired me to create Stand in the Gap, a non-profit that helps January 6th hostages and others who’ve been affected by our justice system succeed in their second chance at freedom and end the two-tiered system of justice in this country.

Before I tell you more about my experience, I have to ask for your support so Stand in the Gap can provide help, hope, and healing to these American patriots in need.

“Oh, say can you see, by the dawn’s early light”
 

I will never forget standing behind the bars of the DC jail on the Fourth of July, staring through a narrow window as fireworks burst over the Capitol. 

It was a strange and surreal feeling to watch the glow of freedom while being caged by the very government that was supposed to defend it.
 

“What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming”

Even in that dark place, even while they tried to strip away our rights, the spirit of America never left us. 

On the Fourth of July, something powerful happened. 

Men who came from every background stood shoulder to shoulder, pressing against those tiny windows. 

For a few moments, we were not inmates. We were Americans. 

Watching the night sky blaze with red, white, and blue.
 

“Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight”

Like my fellow January 6th hostages, I was in the fight of my life.

But even behind bars, even as the government tried to silence me, that banner still flew. A symbol that tyranny might try to break the body, but it cannot crush the spirit.
 

“O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming”

We watched through concrete and steel as the fireworks filled the air. Proof that freedom still existed out there. That freedom still mattered.

It was a painful reminder that it had been taken from us, but also a promise that it could be reclaimed.
 

“And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.”

That night in DC, those fireworks were more than a celebration. They were proof. 

Proof that no matter how hard they tried to crush us, the flag was still there. We were still there.
 

“O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, 
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave”

Even though we are now free, thanks to the grace of God and the bravery of President Trump, the fight is not over.

I want my fellow January 6th hostages to know that Stand in the Gap is still here to help them and their families rebuild what was stolen. From transitional housing to wellness programs, credit repair to employment help, we are proving that freedom is not just an idea. It is a reality worth fighting for.
