Government officials have violated our most basic freedoms, from the freedom of speech to the right to life. Feeling unheard? You're not alone. Many agree: we need to protect these freedoms. Share your thoughts in the Defense of Freedoms in America survey. Stand for truth!

And slavery is a choice. Just look at all the people who suffer rulers despite the fact those rulers produce nothing of value, make no wealth (just take from our labor), extort, bribe, enrich themselves and destroy our rights. We must end the federal military empire.

Yes but there are inevitably going to be (and if fact there are) many people that are naturally parasitic and would prefer "fairness" over freedom. They want to live off of other people's contributions.
