Freedom

“Of the liberty of conscience in matters of religious faith, of speech and of the press; of the trial by jury of the vicinage in civil and criminal cases; of the benefit of the writ of habeas corpus; of the right to keep and bear arms… If these rights are well defined, and secured against encroachment, it is impossible that government should ever degenerate into tyranny.””

— James Monroe (1758-1831), 5th U.S. President

Churches that are taxed out of existence for political statements; wiretapping US citizens without a warrant; no jury trials — nor even charges! — for anyone named a “terrorist,” and gun control spreading insidiously … these are the traits of our government less than 300 years after Monroe. Where will this nation be in 100 years? How safe are we from degeneration into tyranny now? And what are you doing about it?
