About
Project “What is Freedom” was inspired by my project partner, Mike Salamey. Mike wrote a four part essay for the mylibertyspace website, and from part one, I understood what he wants all Americans to understand, the true meaning of freedom. After the release of the third essay, I knew I somehow wanted to get involved. I felt as though people were selling themselves short with their own freedoms by not actually understanding just how much of it they were intended to have.
But because of this misunderstanding, people have now allowed their freedoms to be taken away from them little by little. The worst part is, they do it willingly and without notice. Our government has been the curator of this nanny state, which in broad daylight, is supposed to help people, to show compassion for those who need it…but the underlying issue is, that for everything they give you, they take a little part of you away. Freedom now is on the brink of disappearing from our vocabulary. I fear that we are now in danger of losing the one thing that has always separated us from the rest of the world.
I hope project “What is Freedom” helps Americans to realize what is truly important, our freedoms.
