All the more reason for the importance of the Bill of Rights.

Free speech and the Second Amendment are fundamental to liberty and yet they are under attack daily.

It has not gone unnoticed that BIGGOV seems to grow no matter which party might be in charge.

While the heart of a tyrant doesn’t change...the means to subjugate the people certainly may.
