What are our rights?


Do you even remember what the first 10 rights our founding fathers put onto paper? These were the rights that they thought were most important for a fledgling nation full of people who wanted to be out from under the tyranny of an out of control, out of touch government. Sound familiar? Each day we seem to be losing more and more of our freedoms and so many people just don't care or are in cohorts with this set of tyrants. If you are not awake and actively fighting what is happening in our country right now, then you reap what you sow. Or maybe I should say your children and grandchildren will reap what you sow. God gave us this country to use it to spread His message. We are seriously falling short! I thought that I would publish the Bill of rights just in case you forgot. We should all memorize these and hold our politicians' feet to the fire that they are abiding by these. I am going to send them to my representative and Senators and president. Let's restore our union to its reset position and stop all this craziness. Happy Independence Day!
