" In these troubled times in America, it’s wise to remember where we came from and what our founders envisioned for this great nation. Being an American is a sacred privilege, our hard-won freedoms, fast eroding, should never be taken for granted, and preserving these inalienable rights, a call to arms for all who cherish liberty.

So well said my friend.
I can only offer this bit of wisdom that has stood my test of faith…
“The greatest of the many freedoms… is FREEDOM itself.
I choose THAT Freedom… to choose what I know is best, not using my heart, but using my G-D given brain to make that right choice.
Like our founders, I choose Freedom over government. I choose Freedom over fear.
I choose, as the great Shawnee War Chief Tecumseh said, “I am the maker of my own destiny.” I choose like my ancestors, FREEDOM! Anything else is not Freedom, but slavery by degrees.
Our founders knew this, we have forgotten their lessons.
FREEDOM:
1. The state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint.
2. Exemption from external control, interference, regulation, etc.
3. The power to determine action without restraint.
4. Political or national independence.
5. Personal liberty, as opposed to bondage or slavery: a slave who bought his freedom.

The choice is always ours, remember how it all started, and keep on message...
“The greatest of the many freedoms… is FREEDOM itself.
