How FREE are you?

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, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

Do WE as AMERICAN citizens UNDERSTAND what this meant? HOW have the States systematicaly taken these rights away? Do you believe the Federal Government does it's job in protecting these rights? I realize that these questions are kind of rhetorical. Spin on the english language is the key to these simple and unanswered questions. I say UNANSWERED because, in fact, NO politician, judge, or "public servant" ever talks about these issues openly. We have been told we are "free", yet we are stifled with "POLICY" in leiu of law. Research your states "revised statutes" regarding civil and domestic offenses. You will find that MOST are arrestable offenses, meaning your "freedom" can or will be taken away from you if you do not pay a "fine" of some sort for breaking a frivolous "law" designed to generate municipality money that you really had no say in to begin with. This is SHOCKING! States are NOT soveriegn, they have become "corporations". There are MANY examples of this, post a comment on what you know.
