It is time to debate what is meant by freedom and how we the people can find and elect politicians who are truly interested in passing and enforcing legislation that ensures it. I believe the principles of freedom include our right to make our own decisions, our willingness and ability to to held accountable for the consequences of our decisions, our ability and willingness to be the primary providers of our own welfare, our ability to act voluntarily in a responsible and treat each other with respect and compassion. We should be finding and elextinguisher political leaders who follow these principles if we want to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
