Make Freedom a Fundamental Right
The government says we don’t have a fundamental right to freedom
..and this has to change.
The U.S. Supreme Court has carefully limited the fundamental rights of Americans to a few select areas, such as religion, speech and abortion. Congress agrees. This means the government can cut down our freedom to live our lives as we choose at any time it wants and in just about any way it sees fit. (For legal details, click here)
Every year, Congress creates hundreds of new laws and “crimes” that whittle our liberty away. (click here)
For Americans to be the free people envisioned by the Founders, we cannot let this continue. We cannot let government keep on denying our fundamental right to liberty that the Constitution guarantees.
American freedom is not “optional,” and government has to stop acting like it is.
Freedom must be restored as a fundamental right. Everything thing else depends on it.
