LIBERTY

LIBERTY

WHAT IS IT

John Adams:

We should be unfaithful to ourselves, if we should ever lose sight of the danger of our liberties, if anything particular or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections.

For some reason it seems that we have forgotten what LIBERTY means. I hardly ever hear anyone talk about LIBERTY any more.  All I hear about is political parties, candidates, Legislation we want to fight, rallies, petitions and the different pet agendas and training seminars. I've done them all over the years. When this first started it seemed to be about our LIBERTY and restoring our countries’ CONSTITUTIONAL VALUES. Now I'm not sure what this has turn into. I never hear any of them talk about our LIBERTY that our Creator endowed us with. Now it’s just all of the above and a whole lot of folks are making some big money off the whole thing. This has not really produced the fruit that everyone expected of it!  It is now time to turn to the common cause of LIBERTY!

Why: Because we as a people seem to have lost sight of the meaning of that precious Jewel called LIBERTY!

LIBERTY - freedom , free or impertinent action, or attitude, freedom from bondage deliverance, emancipation, enfranchisement, freedom to choose the natural rights of a Human being , independence, power of choice.

Liberty is another word for freedom (or synonym)

John Stuart Mill

The only freedom that deserves the name is that to pursuing our good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it.

LIBERTY means acting within one's rights, whereas it is not freedom to impinge on the rights of others that would be an abuse of freedom. The first thing we need to understand is that as free men and women, our LIBERTY has been endowed to us by our CREATOR.

What does our Declaration of Independence proclaim: that we hold these truths to be self- evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness!

John Adams:

Liberty must at all hazard, be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker.

Thomas Jefferson: The GOD, who gave us life, gave us Liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoint them.

We can see that we have a right to Liberty because our Creator who gave us life endowed us with that Liberty. Because it is endowed in us by our creator, it is to be the most treasured prize of all!

Patrick Henry: Is the relinquishment of the trial by jury and the liberty of the press necessary for our liberty?  Will the abandonment of your most sacred rights tend to the security of your liberty? Liberty, the greats of all the earthly blessing – give us that precious jewel, and you may take everything else! Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel.

Patrick Henry called Liberty a most sacred right, the greatest of all earthly blessing, the precious jewel.

The once you truly understand concept of LIBERTY then you can truly understand the words of

Patrick Henry

Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty GOD! I know what course others may take but as for me, give me LIBERTY or give me death!”

Therefore we must guard it with jealous attention.

How do we do that?

Our founding Fathers knew how to!

Alexander Hamilton tells that our Constitution is the stand that we must cling to.

Under its banner of moral virtue will we combat our political foes! If we are to secure our Liberty it can only be done by enforcing our Constitution and Bill of Rights. What does our preamble tell us:

We the people of the United States, in order to sure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of LIBERTY to ourselves and our Posterity, do ORDAIN and ESTABLISH this Constitution for the United States of America.  We the people did ordain and establish it not a political party, not legislation, not a representative, or a group, but, WE THE PEOPLE DID! That is why we must support and enforce it.

John Adams again: Liberty must at all hazards be supported.

If you have been paying attention, then you must surely realize by now, our Liberty is being taken away

because the Constitution is not being enforced, nor used to Govern. Washington is broken and this is why!

According to John Adams: it is our obligation to our country that does not cease until our death.

The time has come to turn the direction in which we are heading.  We do not have the time to do the hit and miss thing in electing representatives to get the right people in.  All we managed to do is to create a division in the Republican Party in Congress and become, what looks like an arm of the Republican party. Not a thing has changed in Washington D.C. And it’s not going to change until we enforce The LAW of the Land, which is the Constitution and the Bill of Rights..Fortunately there are those who do still have the vision of that most precious of Jewels, Liberty. Among them are the: We the People foundation Constitution Lobby, this is not another group, nor is it about political parties, or politics. It is about Liberty and the enforcement of our Constitution as the Law of the Land. This organization has the resources, insight, and plan to do just that. If you love liberty please check them out at the “We the People Constitution Lobby website: the wtp constitution lobby.

Let us remember the warning of one of our founding fathers: John Adams: A constitution of Government, once changed from Freedom, can never be restored, Liberty lost, is lost forever.
