We still enjoy many freedoms in the United States of America. Do you think the people are as free as the founding fathers intended, or do you think our freedoms are eroding due to politics and fear-based policies? What are your reasons?

"I think that our freedom has been stripped and eroded due to politics and different things. We don't have the freedom that we used to because of political issues and different things that are going on now." FELICIA BROWNER Homemaker "I think we have freedoms as intended by our founding fathers. I also think we ought to be constantly vigilant and participate in our government and if we're not then we always run the risk of losing some of these precious freedoms." GEORGE BROOKS Retired Forester "I don't think our freedoms are as our founding fathers intended. Times are changing but I do think our freedoms are eroding due to politics, pure politics. I think it's something that should get our attention." ELEANOR BLACKMON Retired Educator "Yes, I think so." WILLIAM TURNER Wood Specialty Co.
