At this time of the republican debate in the U.S., to pick the Republican to go against Obama, this year, for the presidency.... I find this group meaningful. Thank you. I just watched some of the Florida debate. Loved it.

Michael, I agree with you 100%.  I'm writing a novel in hopes to bring awareness of how we became a free nation, and why we should defend these freedoms. 

Sorry, there's a gletch on my profile page that won't allow me to change being represented by a dog and have on a photo of me.

IN  Response  to Marie Krause`s comment.

Its  amazing  to me how many people do NOT know  who wrote the  constitution, what their  backgrounds were and  why they wrote it in the first place...

In 1776 we  were  finishing up a war with England  to  separate  ourselves  from the British Empire ie..Englands  kings and autoritarian rule... so our forefathers wrote a  constitution to embark a new form of  government frr of  tyrannical rule  by and  kingdom or  ruler... A country of the people  by the people and  for the people...our  constitution was  designed  to protect us  from Authoritarian rule and  tyranny.....Our  government  cannot  tell us  what  to  say, do, feel, worship or any other  form of  control....In other  words our  forefathers  wrote the  constitution to protect us  from our  own government more  than any other threat!

So...what  do we  have  today? We  have  a  government  that  is attemptint  to tell us  what  to say. and  do, and think, and worship...alll wrapped  up  in an amazingly expensive  package.....

How  can  we even afford  to fund  our  behemoth government  that  our  own founding  fathers  would  abhor and detest?

Maybe  its  time  to  take  back our  government from bureaucrats  and  return it  to the  way it  was  intended.  A free  society with minimal governmental involvement"

"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government -- lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."
