I am so disappointed in the major parties and their complete disregard for freedom. Over the past few decades, we have witnessed an unprecedented decay in the ideals of the founding fathers. Their dream has been criticized, destroyed, and now, mocked. The saddest part is that anyone standing up for freedom in today's political minefield is immediately ridiculed and dismissed as a lunatic. It is apathy in its greatest meaning. And it pains me to think of the great injustices done today by our leaders that continue to go unchecked.

Forget the Dem/Reps. Like Pat Buchanan said, "Their just two wings of the same bird of prey". Look to Cynthia McKinney, or to Ralph Nader, or to Chuck Baldwin, or to Ron Paul. Freedom brings us together. Liberty unites us. We can all agree on the preeminence of the Constitution and civil liberties. Check out: www.campaignforliberty.com/
