Freedom

Freedom was and still is the dream of every American. Freedom is defined as the liberty of choice or action, self-determination of rational beings, the right to enjoy privileges of membership or citizenship, and independence. The natural rights of all men have been stated as "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." In order for freedom to exist, people must take on the responsibility to pursue and maintain their dream.

When people take on the responsibility of their citizenship and

Second, there is the freedom of every person to worship God in his own way-everywhere in the world. If Americans don't take a stand right now, they will be told what God to worship, how to worship, and when to worship. Then, there is freedom for m fear. Finally comes the freedom to want and wish. The first Americans followed their dream toward freedom by coming to America and founding the colonies which have evolved into our cities and towns today. Officers and soldiers of our magnificent county have also followed their dream toward freedom by sacrificing and fighting which are both appreciated today. Humans have the power to make a dream towards freedom come true.

Americans enjoy all of these freedoms here in the United States. No one tells them how many children they can have. No one tells them if their child is a boy he can live, but if it is a girl she must
