FREEDOM!

If you have never known freedom
It's impossible to see,
Why it is so important,
To you and me.
To be able to do,
To be able to learn,
To be able to love,
To be able to yearn.
To be able to wonder
On the large or the small.
To be able to wander,
Without encountering a wall.
To own your property
With reasonable use.
Without government being restrictive
Regulative and overtly obtuse.
To leave your home
In search of a dream.
To wander un-tethered
On the path you deem.
To be creative, intuitive,
Imaginative and ingenious.
To be productive and responsible,
Work hard and industrious.
The freedom to choose
To do what you want.
To take a long trip,
Or just a short jaunt.
To lay in the Sun
Climb a Mountain
Sleep in or have fun.
Being free is a fountain
Where dreams are won.
Because down deep in your soul
No matter who you are,
Is the desire to freely go,
Whether near or far.
You can't see freedom
You can only be free.
You can't touch freedom,
It's a phantom you see.
A phantom we hold
In our hearts and minds.
A fleeting memory we are told,
Should we it let slip away,
On the winds of time.
You have to be ever alert,
If you want to remain free.
For there are those with a quirk
Who will steal freedom on a whim,
From you and me.
So please won’t you join with us,
In the eternal quest to defend our liberty.
Help us restore faith, hope and trust
In this great land called America …..
For all eternity.

Don’t forget to sign our petition “DEMANDING CERTAIN ACTIONS TO BE IMMEDIATELY TAKEN BY THE U. S. CONGRESS” A printable copy of this petition can be obtained by logging onto: www.narlo.org/CFL Petition.pdf. Instructions on what to do with the petition can be found at the bottom of the 2nd page. We will collect the signed petitions and send the copies with original signatures, in bulk, to the U. S. Congress, with copies to conservative personalities like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingram, Bill O'Reilly and others.
We would like to take this opportunity to wish upon all of you many blessings for the coming year and all future years and further, that 2010 will be the turning point to re-claim our freedom from those who desire to take it from us for evil designs and to restore our Constitutional Republic to the vision of our Founding Fathers where our individual, unalienable rights, as a gift from our creator, will be preserved, protected and defended by not only we the people, but by the government whose solemn duty it is to protect and defend those rights for us.
