It’s not a secret that we have people who are easily compromised working in the justice system in this country. It is prevalent on the local government level, and of course all the way to Washington, D.C. Criminal behavior and legal manipulation occur in backroom deals designed to disregard the law for the purpose of protecting or promoting the agendas of the powerful few.

Our forefathers fought wars with rags on their feet in freezing temperatures to achieve their dream of creating a nation where everyone could live in freedom, and laws were just and fair for all.

We need more men with backbone who aren’t afraid to stand for the truth and can’t be bought with promises of wealth and luxuries. Too many have sold their souls to the devil and are taking our country with them. You might even argue we are under communist rule right now, considering we owe China billions of dollars and Russia is holding us hostage with rising gas prices and whatever else in the future.

I don’t call that freedom, do you?
