The freedom to do what is right and good. For yourself and your family. To accomplish dreams. To live securely. To help others. Not by the force of government, but by the goodness of heart. Where rights are not granted by government or claimed by identities, but are unalienable. As members of the human race. Today, americas greatness is challenged by those with extreme notions.
