Freedom

We are blessed to live in the United States of America, where citizens have a lot of individual liberty; as compared to the rest of the world.  Whatever follows, please realize that I thank God that I am an American.

The founding fathers would not approve U.S. Constitution, until it included language that protected the rights of citizens.  These rights include, but are not limited to: freedom of speech, the press, assembly, religion, and the right to keep and bear arms.  Americans can travel or move anywhere they want to in the United States without asking the government for permission.  The Declaration of Independence says that we have a God given right to life, liberty and the pursuit happiness (property).

Listening to the broadcast news, it seems that a lot of people believe our freedom is under attack.  So, it may be a good idea to think through what freedom means to each of us.

QUESTION:  What does freedom mean to you?
