STATUE OF LIBERTY
TAKE DOWN THE POEM!!
RESTORE LADY LIBERTY TO HER TRUE AMERICAN HERITAGE!!
The "New Colossus" poem has distorted the
true meaning of the Statue of Liberty which is
"Liberty Enlightening the World."
The meaning of
the poem to many is, "Hey, move to America
because borders are racist and meaningless."
Enough of the liberal, globalist lies. America first!
Take Down the Poem!
The Statue of Liberty was erected in 1886, when world
population was little more than one billion and the
U.S. population was 60 million. Many do not realize
that the Statue of Liberty was a gift to the U.S.
from France, with the title, "Liberty
Enlightening the World". The statue and its
symbolism had nothing to do with immigration, but
rather hope that the rest of the world would adopt
Democracy. The Emma Lazurus plaque (it is not
chiseled in the base), "send me your huddled
masses" was added ten years later during the
immigration peak of that age.
The sonnet, "New Colossus", was written by
Emma Lazarus in 1883 as part of a literary campaign
to raise funds for the completion of the Statue's
pedestal. Not much attention was paid to it until the
tide of immigration surged at the turn of the
century. Proceeds that were raised from its auction
were used to complete the pedestal of the Statue of
Liberty. This plaque memorialized the sonnet in 1903
and was placed on the inner
wall of the Statue's pedestal. It currently is
displayed inside the Statue of Liberty museum.
Since then, U.S. population has expanded by 4 1/2
times. The U.S. is the world's highest-consuming (and
most wasteful) nation, and is no longer in need of
settlement.
The "New Colossus" poem has distorted the
true meaning of the Statue of Liberty which is
"Liberty Enlightening the
World." The meaning of the poem to many is,
"Hey, move to America because borders are racist
and meaningless." Enough of the liberal,
globalist lies. Americans first! Take Down the Poem!
