The Free Republic Banner "Wall of Liberty" Proposal
This is an addendum to the United States Great Wall proposals.
Requirements
1. The Great wall, or long sections of, shall be embossed with the text lettering of the Bill of Rights, that is, the first Ten Amendments to the Constitution of the United States.
2. The raised or sunken lettering shall be dyed a different color from its background color. A color immersion within the material has the purpose of graffiti protection, such as, sand blasting shall easily remove any future abasement.
3. The 10 Liberty Amendments shall be viewable by heavily trafficked highways, in the primary ports of entry, such as; Laredo Tx, San Diego CA, El Paso TX, and Nogales AR. This suggests a lettering height of 5 to 10 feet.
Options
a. Long Visibility: This Option shall have lettering along miles long lengths of the wall viewable by an aircraft in the sky. This option would be a "Banner of Liberty".
Purpose
The North Eastern U.S. has the Statue of Liberty. This addendum would bracket the U.S., at its south with the Wall of Liberty, and be a beacon, as the world's largest "Banner of Liberty" for centuries to come.

I’d like to see it covered in ivy with yellow foul poles at the east and west ends.

Even many Americans don’t understand our Constitution. The interpretation of the First Amendment has been corrupted to the point of almost being the antithesis of what it was written to be.
I’d rather build it to be scary and imposing, using Hollywood set design tricks to make it appear to be even taller than it is.
But most of all, I just want it built and don’t care to distract anyone with decisions on decorations.
So that if kick people over it, we get three points?
I like it.
Hope the designers see this....
Just needs TRUMP written on it.
I like your idea of having it be informative or educational since Trump said it should be nice to look at from the USA side.
I think on the Mexico side it should be painted to look like it doesnt exist - they walk or drive right into the wall - or - have huge signs in multiple languages saying you come in illegally you are immediately put to death when caught. I think all airline gates for flights to the USA and all ports of entry, the Northern border too, should have similar signs we welcome you if you are coming legally but if illegal, we don’t want you and we are warning you the severe consequence is death. We’re not wasting time money etc deporting or jailing or being nice for you to hurt our people and our country.
Up to four points if the bases are loaded. Technically they’re called “runs”. :=)
I once worked for the manager of our former Space Shuttles. As an experienced former Engineer of some upper high importance Government Systems, I could not let this go by, without raising awareness, since a wall would be around for centuries.
Nations are not free because they have no Bill of Rights. For that to exist for eons in concrete, with minimal effort, certainly would not hurt. And no better builder than Pres. Trump.
Permanent lettering would REQUIRE mixing color with the original concrete. There is only ONE chance to add the text, and that is now. It could not be done later.
And it would last for 2000 years.
I realized you were describing foul polls, but I wasn’t quite getting the context with that long of a wall.
That works for me.
In Gold letters....
Or 42 cars racing past it at 180 mph about 200 times during two Sundays each year.
The 10 Commandments were chiseled in stone, were they not??
The Amendments could not be corrupted, if they were sealed in a Great Trump Wall of concrete.
We have a lot of national monuments. We haven't added one for a LONG time. This will be a great addition!!!!
They are corrupted through interpretation. Chisel it on stone large enough to be read from space and the misinterpretation will go on.
Calling it a National Monument, instead of just a wall, is a great idea.
Always sell the idea instead of just a product, marketing would say. That creates better support from everyday folks.
Truth is, Trump can rush produce the wall just fine, and then save a section, to turn it all into a U.S. monument.
I think it could be any easy sell.
Better yet the enumerated powers granted to the Federal Government.
US Flags, name of every Military person KIA and Service dogs, LEO, EMT’s and Fire. What better way to honor America and our Heroes. Scenes of beautiful places in the USA would be nice to, that is a lot of wall to cover. Past and present history including 9/11. First walk on the moon. Many things could be engraved on it. America’s finest moments and people.
