It’s time for America to understand that we are now on the path to failure. Erosion of freedom or of land is a slow but sure destruction.

When government makes any law that removes personal responsibility, it erodes our liberty. The more government takes our wealth, the weaker the people become and the stronger government becomes. The more dependent the people become on government the less likely we are to change course.

We begin to fear our immediate loss instead of our long-term loss of freedom. Whether it’s health care or gun control, when you lose your right to choose, your freedom has been lost.

It's time for people to realize that the news media and politicians aren’t any smarter than they are. We must make decisions on the facts in front of us, not those others present to us.

Listen closely or read carefully what is presented to you by polticians and the media. Understand that they have an agenda that nearly always helps their financial supporters.

Most politicians belong to the “good ol’ boy and girl club.” If you watched the recently televised hearings, it was quite obvious with the lack of honest questions of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Clinton.

The $16 trillion debt, the $1 trillion deficit per year and no one is willing to work on the problem for fear of losing an election. The fear of the press and the loss of their financial supporters keeps politicians from doing the job they were elected to do. The erosion of our rights, the loss of our wealth and the slanted view of what is happening by the press must end if we are going to continue to be free.
