"You are Freeman, fighting for the blessings of liberty"
True today as well, don't you think?
As true today as it was back then, if you ask me. What do you think?
Happy Wednesday!

The words of George Washington are as relevant today as they were when he spoke them.
Either we act to preserve and protect our freedoms or we shall forever be slave to the rules determined by others.
We have seen freedom slowly dribbling away at the hands of a power hungry Congress and Legislative branch. We NEED to limit the power of both to ensure our own freedom to live quiet lives without the encroachment of those who would enslave us with their "good intentions."
