Happy Fourth of July!
Our citizens have fought for freedom for well over two hundred years. I pray we soon have our Constitution returned to us and that these freedoms are not gone forever:

Equal justice under the law without partisan politics making some pigs more equal than others;

Three branches of government instead of a fourth vice presidential office which is neither executive nor legislative, but which operates in an opaque hidey-hole;

A president who transparently vetoes laws he thinks (Hell, I’d be satisfied at this point with one who could think!) are against the best interests of the nation instead of attaching statements that declare he’d do what he damn well pleases;

Presidents who are elected fairly instead of appointed by the Supreme Court or win through Chicago style politics – vote early and often, let the dead vote, pay for votes;

Freedom of thought, especially in our mail, conversation – including electronic conversations – without reprisal;

Freedom of speech and dissent - without being branded a traitor;

Freedom from intrusion into our bedrooms and doctors’ offices;

Freedom to have the truth told to us rather than outright lies from our highest elected officials on down.

Freedom from fluff in the news media when important events occur (Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan are NOT more important than national security).

I applaud and honor the Service Men and Women who make enormous sacrifices to keep our nation safe and free now and in the past (including my father and my father-in-law! Let light perpetual shine upon them). God bless them, us and this whole United States.
