Articles Our Position on Freedom
“Posterity,you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserveyour freedom. I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, Ishall repent in heaven that ever I took half the pains to preserve it.”John Adams
All across the Western world we see threats to our traditional,hard-won freedoms—especially freedom of speech. Whether on collegecampuses with political correctness or thanks to the vast spyingefforts of the US government, our freedoms are being undermined. Wecall for a return to the vision of the Founding Fathers: a vision thatvalues the rights of people to dissent. We also value the original Billof Rights, including man’s inalienable rights to keep and bear arms andto be secure in his home and possessions.
