Freedom


We are a free people, yet each day we see our freedoms eroded by well-meaning do-gooders intent on sabotaging our basic rights gifted to us under the Constitution.

Benjamin Franklin once wrote that "A society that gives up its rights in the interest of the governmental protection and safety guarantees that it will neither be safe, nor free."

In other words, one does not give up rights to protect rights.
