Happy Bill of Rights Day! Thanks to a reminder from Always on Watch, I remembered! Today is a day set aside by the government to remember the Bill of Rights. For more details, check out AOW's link above -- there's also a link there to area celebrations, so check that out.

Unfortunately, I think Bill of Rights day has become more of an day to honor something that has passed, rather than celebrating what we have. Indeed, I'm not saying that this country isn't the freest in the world, just that we lose more and more freedoms every day and very, very few people seem to care.

Another thing that isn't taught any more in government schools -- the government doesn't GRANT rights. They're not capable of it. Instead, the Bill of Rights was intended as a specific list of rights that the government was to never, ever, trample upon. However, today, I think every single one of the original bill of rights has been violated by our government, including all three branches in cooperation.

If you do truly love the Bill of Rights, there is but one possible solution today that will allow YOU to live in a place of freedom. There is a very small, but growing, group of people who honestly love freedom. They want to claim a small area of the country and make it as the founders intended. They don't want socialism or communism as today's governments want. They want open, unrestrained freedom. They want government to do as it should in a free society: as little as possible. Who are they?

They are The Free State Project. And they need you, if you want real freedom, to join them. And if you're really, really serious about freedom, join them in the First 1000 pledge -- trying to find simply 1,000 people who will agree to move and work for freedom in our lifetime -- but only if 999 others will join them.

Celebrate the Bill of Rights -- by restoring those rights to the people where they belong.
