As we celebrate Independence Day on this 230th anniversary of our country's birth, do you think we are as truly free as we could or should be? Has the intent of the founding fathers been preserved or has our freedom eroded over time?

"I believe that we are truly as free as we could be and that our founding fathers have tried to preserve our freedom over the time and they have done a pretty good job." SHERNITA RYAN LPN "I don't believe we are as free as we could or should be, primarily because of the changing of our world, our country, in relationship to other countries." MARY LEHOCKY Teacher "No, I don't think we are as free as we should be. The way I see it now, our founding fathers have tried, and it was them that gave us our freedom." KATHY FENDER Ingles "Yes, I think so because I think we have the freedoms that our forefathers wrote into the Constitution. Yes, we do have freedom, especially in America."
