Fostering a well-informed citizenry by advocating independent thought
Every American has the opportunity, indeed the duty, to raise a voice against those who would destroy, even unwittingly, the exceptionalism that is America. And we need to act now. We started this commentary blog as one way to carry forward the message of what’s right and what’s wrong with our beloved country; the face of freedom to the world
Carry forward this message with family, friends, and the press. Forward Libertyviews.org. It’s up to all of us!

• Decide who pays how much in taxes and who pays nothing.

• Craft trade agreements that ship our jobs...

The victims of the World Trade Center tragedy were given a form of guilt compensation because the US let it happen. Recently the US
population at large was given monetary compensation...

However, this Court has become a political football and now has a reputation for justifying Government corruption at the highest level. In reality, the FISA Court was established in 1979.
*The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) was introduced on May 18, 1977, by Senator Ted Kennedy and was signed into law by...
