Standing With Those Who Stand For Us – Caesar DePaço

As one who has lived the true American Dream, not through inherited privilege but through diligence, personal sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to traditional values, I consider it my moral obligation to speak out concerning the alarming direction in which the State of New Jersey has been heading.

The Admiral of the Portuguese Navy, Henrique Gouveia e Melo, candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, recently stated that after ten years an immigrant becomes as Portuguese as we are, or else we possess a special gene. Such a statement, clothed in apparent simplicity, betrays a troubling ignorance of the moral, historical, and spiritual essence that defines Portuguese identity.

Ao contrário do que alguns possam supor, jamais nutri qualquer ambição de exercer funções políticas em Portugal. Não me movem interesses pessoais, nem procuro protagonismo ou reconhecimento. Falo unicamente como cidadão livre, animado por um profundo e inabalável amor à Pátria.
