Political
Creed
I am a free citizen in a free nation. Whoever diminishes my freedom as an individual diminishes the sum total of freedom in the my country. These things being true, I cannot- I will not- stand idly by when these hard-won freedom are under attack. For I believe that the values upon which this country was founded are immutable and have not been eroded by the passage of years. I believe that I, as a free citizen in a free land, am obligated to defend my beliefs in the ways permitted to me, and required of me, by our form of government. Therefore, let no man seek to bar me from the political process, for it would be akin to denying my right to participate in the process that determines free government.
