Woke Amerika wants to strip the Francis Scott Key name from the bridge that bore his name.
FSK penned the words to the Star Spangled Banner within 100 yards of where the Francis Scott Key Bridge spans the Potapsco River, leading into Baltimore Harbor and Fort McHenry.
Do not let them continue to erase our history, our memorials and our tributes. Sign today, our future depends on it!
Uzasadnienie
To Whom It May Concern,
We, the undersigned, come together in a crucial moment in our community's history, faced with the aftermath of the recent destruction of the beloved Francis Scott Key Bridge. This bridge has not only been a critical artery for transportation but also a symbolic landmark that has held the memories and the history of our area for decades.
Its name carries a legacy that reflects our collective identity and values, connecting us to our past and guiding us toward our future. In light of the events that led to the unfortunate destruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, we strongly urge the relevant authorities and stakeholders to honor the bridge's historical significance and the deep emotional connection it holds for our community by retaining its original name in any plans for its reconstruction or replacement.
The name "Francis Scott Key Bridge" is deeply embedded in our local heritage. It serves as a reminder of the pivotal moments and figures in our history that have shaped us into the community we are today. Changing the name of the Francis Scott Key Bridge would mean severing a link to our past, diminishing the sense of continuity and identity fostered over countless years. Furthermore, preserving the name of the Francis Scott Key Bridge would demonstrate a commitment to respecting and upholding the traditions and history of our community. It would send a powerful message about the value of heritage in guiding progress and rebuilding efforts, ensuring that the spirit of the original bridge lives on, even as we look forward to new beginnings. #BRIDGENAMESTANDS

Francis Scott Key did have an inconsistent, confusing life history in his views and actions in favor of and against slavery. I'm sure a reflection of the societal, political complexities in the early 1800s, not that slavery wasn't terribly wrong, but of a reality based, prudent, and delicate approach to maintaining the Republic we currently live in today, people with many different views. Renaming the bridge is a band-aid, motivated by a politically driven agenda (Wokeism) . Renaming the bridge doesn't address the greed and selfishness of people of all colors throughout history, even today. We shouldn't lose sight of the history, the key figures in it, that moved us toward the freedom all of us have today. If it wasn't for figures in history like Francis Scott Key we wouldn't be here today as the United States of America having the freedom to discuss topics like this. Keep the name the same.

Each time I go to Fort McHenry it reminds how and where our National Anthem was written
This is our history. We should never forget. Our National Anthem is a treasure and the name bridge in Baltimore should still .be named The Francis Scott Key Bridge.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge is not only a symbol for the local.communties that use it on a daily basis but is also a symbol of America's resilient nature. The bridge was constructed in the general area that our national anthem was written as the war for our independence raged on. This bridge with ANY other name looses it's importance and further erases the legacy and history of our nation.
