FREEDOM

Americans are fortunate that the Framers of our Government knew that freedom was, above all others, the single most important element in creating a new beginning.

Americans should also remember that Freedom comes with a cost.

If we want to keep our Freedom to work and prosper in the Country we love, then we must be willing to support the efforts of groups who stand guard to see Conservative legislation and regulations passed in the States and Washington DC .

How to keep our Freedom,

By supporting Conservatives, your contributions to the Federal and State Political Action Committees, by participating at conservative sponsored legislative events and just like the legendary Minute Men, by taking action when they are called to action.

Freedom takes many, many forms. Types of freedom generally considered are Assembly, Association, Education, Movement, the Press, Religion, Speech, and the absence of government sanctioned discrimination.

Freedom requires strength of character because with freedom you have opposition of opinion.

You must have tolerance for views that may be in diametric opposition to your own, and while you do not have to embrace or support them, they have as much right to be voiced as your own.

In other words, while we can accept a person's freedom to perform and act or express an opinion, we are not compelled to agree with or support it.

Exercising one's freedoms is also not without consequence.

In most cases, your rights and freedoms can be exercised to the point that they infringe on the rights and freedoms of others.

A person must exercise their freedom responsibly and with consideration of and for their fellow citizens.

Americans need to take some time to be thankful for this great land of ours.

We need to be thankful for the wisdom and resolve of our Founders.

They risked everything to charter a new beginning, to fulfill a dream of a nation rooted in real freedom.

We must also be thankful for the strength of our leaders in times of crisis.

Where would this nation be without the boldness and bravery of George Washington?

Would we have remained one nation without the determination of Abraham Lincoln?

Could we have won the Cold War without the unshakable will of Ronald Reagan?

The answer to all of these questions is a resounding NO!

We must also be thankful for the unyielding courage of American soldiers across the generations.

Their willingness and ability to defend freedom around the world has secured our freedom at home.

And certainly we must be thankful for the limitless capacity of our citizens who through the exercise of their freedoms on a daily basis have made this country and this planet a better place.
