To: Americans everywhere:
I would like to ask you, if you would please, just sit with me some where in a quiet place, erase any political party agenda completely from our thoughts, think and speak honestly and truthfully about something for a few moments only as free American people, namely the Spirit of Liberty, the sacred tie that binds us together.
What is spirit? Webster's Dictionary : breath, courage, vigor, the soul, life; the thinking, motivating, feeling part of man, often as distinguished from the body.
What is Liberty? Webster's Dictionary: Freedom from any form of arbitrary control; the sum of rights and exemptions possessed in common by the people of a community or state; exemption from compulsion.
The spirit of Liberty has to be in the hearts and minds of the people. Individual Liberty will only be preserved as long as there is devotion to freedom, expressed in the hearts and actions of the people. Our desire for Individual Liberty must be stronger than those who desire to turn us into their subjects under the arbitrary control of government.
This American experiment in people being individually free and governing themselves is unique in all the history of man, because it places Individual Liberty above all other forms of government.

In 1775
Alexander
Hamilton said,
"The sacred
rights of
mankind are
not to
be looked for
among old
parchments or
musty records.
They
are written,
as with a
sunbeam, in
the whole
volume of
human nature,
by the hand of
the divinity
itself, and
can never be
erased." It
has been said,
"History moves
toward freedom
because the
desire for
freedom is
written in
every human
heart." I ask
you, why on
earth are we
allowing our
Liberty to be
taken from us?
Have we let
our hearts
grow void of
the desire to
remain free
and just
willingly give
up our
God-given
right to think
and act for
ourselves
without
government
dictating to
us how we
should live
our lives?
Have we lost
our Spirit of
Liberty?
The current state of corruption, the lies, deception and incompetence in our government, the seemingly uncaring, uninterested, too busy attitude of a great many people does not bode well for our future as a free Republic. However, as someone has said, "We can look back on the past 240 years with the utmost pride and amazement at what this unlikely nation has achieved; and this was due to nothing but the fertile ground of the Spirit of Liberty within the people.
The Constitution of government, as vital as it is when followed, will never be a substitute for staving off oppression as will the Constitution (spirit) of the people. If we are to keep our freedom, it must come from, not a bias media, not from political party bosses, but the people's Spirit of Liberty. It is who or what we choose, not their choice for us.
Now let's think politically for a brief moment. Let us together resolve to rekindle that spirit before it is to late to have an effect. As and example, Donald Trump is saying, let's "Make America Great Again." He is talking to you and me, not those others I just mentioned. They don't like him. It will be up to us. It's you and I, choosing for ourselves, standing against them and their choosing for us.
