Freedom and Liberty! Happy 4th of July!

"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it." -- Tom Paine

In times where it seems our freedoms seem to be eroding quickly, these words from 
Thomas Paine spoke to me this morning as I looked for a quote for this post.  

After you enjoy your cookouts and fireworks, I encourage you to take a look
at a most timeless document, our United States Constitution.  Our founders
created a masterpiece that spelled out their intentions for our great nation. we must
never forget what it means to be an American - great liberty! great freedom!
We must not compromise this!

  4. I did take time to read both the Constitution and Dec. of Ind. Our founders were AMAZING. I do what I can to keep our freedoms alive (I think my Cong. Rep has me on email block because I contact him almost weekly:)
