Freedom and Independence

By Tammy Derouin

We are blessed to live in a country where our God-given rights are acknowledge and protected by the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution is a liberating document because it restricts and limits the power of the government. The government is empowered by the people and is not supposed to make laws which infringe upon or restrict our rights. The Constitution establishes that we are a land of laws not men. The founding fathers also made clear that we are a Republic not a true democracy.

Sadly, many do not understand how our system of government works. They call for radical changes which would fundamentally change our country from its original intent of freedom and independence to enslavement and dependency. Separation of powers and the checks and balance they are supposed to provide is vital so that one branch doesn't become too powerful. The Electoral College is another good example. It is vital to our Republic but people need to understand how and why it works. Do those who call for such changes understand that if their attempts are successful, it would turn back the hands of time? We the people need to understand when destructive forces are attempting to destroy us. Once freedom is gone, there's a good chance it is gone forever.

For far too many years, our government was in the hands of corrupt individuals who sought to destroy our founding principles, our system of government and our security.......
