Liberty will reign!

Those who seek to gain power... should realize that with power comes responsibility. Not to the few, but to the many.



I would submit that in this speech attributed to John Adams, he is not speaking of 'freedom to make wealth.'  He is speaking of the fundamental right to basic needs.  Food, clothing and shelter. The fundamental right of human beings to live as human beings with dignity and respect.

In all the uproar over deficit spending and the debt ceiling, not one word was uttered about just what 'Freedom' really is. FDR established the 'Four Freedoms'in a speech before World War II. Without those 'Four Freedoms,' a people cannot be truly 'free.' 



After ten years of war... the Nation finds itself in dire straits financially, spiritually and politically.  We cannot depend on our leaders to find solutions to our problems in a way that would benefit all Americans.  We are told we must 'tighten our belts,' expect less from our government.  Working people who want to work at good paying jobs to provide for their families are told that tax cuts for the wealthy will provide those jobs they so desperately need.  The question must be asked:  'Where are those jobs?' 

Recently, a facility advertised for applicants for 40 job openings... 400 people showed up the first day.  This in a community where unemployment is not nearly as high as the national average.  Similar scenes are being repeated throughout the country.

The people of America deserve 'economic justice.'  A good job at a fair wage.  The ability to organize, if they choose to do so, to bargain with employers for better wages and working conditions; to expect that when government makes a promise, it should keep that promise.  Especially, when that promise is funded with the contributions of those people.  Anything less is corruption most foul.
